Why use either glyph? We're arguing over which ability is the most rarely used and hits the least hardest; just scrap both of them. Get a CS and a TV glyph (both of which should be huge percentages of your damage) and a SoT glyph, and reforge any excess expertise you end up with into some sweet, sweet haste.
I'll agree, there's plenty of room for debate over what the fourth best prime glyph is, but you can only use three anyway.

RETLOL: The Guide - Chapter 3: PvE - Section 1: Gearing for PvE
3.1.2 Best in Slot Pre Raid
Your guide is showing
+120 Intellect
, not the
+120 Strength
.
Also for that section, Gemming is very off. Your actually putting a +20 expertise in red socket? You can't reforge prime stats like Str, so you should be socketing pure Str as often as possible, with the exception of 2
+10 Str/Hit
and any
+10 Str/Haste
you can match for a +4 Str bonus.
At the time you wrote this Pre Raiding guild you might not have been able to reforge, but now you can so people should socket as much Str as they can and then reforge crit and haste for hit and expertise.
Like you mentioned, getting this set isn't going to be instant, so gemming it this way piece by piece is not only going to make them lack more Str, but is going to leave them off balance until they get the exact set. Its always better to gem the same way, and then reforge for what is needed.
TL:DR -
Reforging makes any gear upgrade an upgrade, no mater how much hit is has =P
Great formating on the guide tho. I'll read more of it later.
Cheers,
Hat

Thanks for spotting the helm mistake it was only with the item list, and not the Wowhead profile. I have fixed the error, and given you credit in the change logs. ;-)
I'm afraid the Wowhead profiler doesn't support Reforging currently, so I can't set it to do that. I'll update it once Wowhead supports Reforging.

Awesome, thanks for the credit ^_^

Keep up the good work.

PS. glad we recovered this thread from the "READ TEH STICKEHS" crew. If they don't beleive the topic warrants an answer DON'T ANSWER.
It only got 'recovered' after it got derailed entirely from the OP.
Who, I might add, got offended when we had the gall to suggest he had done inadequate research before posting a topic.

Ret dps is insanely easy, im hit capped, and exp capped WITHOUT seal of truth glyph, so i swapped it for one of the others, I'm sitting just over 6k gs, but really, all i did was READ the INGAME talents and things, i worked it out fine by myself, also don't forget, "wings" = hammer of wrath spam at any hp %, and Zealotry makes your rotation CS, TV , cs , tv for about 30 sec , cant get much easier than that...
anyway, goodluck

What's the general consensus on this?
My understanding was that it would be better to take the SoT Glyph and reforge excess expertise into haste/crit, depending on whether you've reached the haste soft cap.
Edit: Found this on
EJ
:
If you are over the Expertise cap, it appears useful to reforge Expertise off of gear in order to utilize the GoSoT.
