Resto Makeover

So, due to guild drama a couple months back, I'm unguilded (along with my 6 other level 70's), and kind of preferring to stay that way until LK comes out (real life is actually kinda cool). So I'm doing a makeover now that will set my druid to do most game content if asked by others.
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Silver+Hand&n=Thornhoof
I'm comfortable in my 16/0/45 spec since it helps in pvp, I don't think any more in Resto helps my pve-ness any.
When I pve, I change my idol to
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=32387
Looking at the gear, it has +1329 healing... obviously I won't be wearing the pvp trinket, but right now the only thing that normally goes there is Oshu'gun Relic. That puts it at 1382.
Here's my plan so far.
1) Wear the
SSO neck piece
. That puts me at 1406.
2) Change my glove enchant to +35 healing (T4 just never dropped for me when I used to run kara all the time. Now that I basically never run kara, I'll go with these, they're good for resto druids anyway). That raises it to 1441.
3) Get the
PvP Mace
with +81 healing on it. I'll have that by end-of week. That raises me to 1717.
However, the change in weapon + neck makes me lose 43 int. That drops me to about 8800 mana. It's not too distressing, but now I have to focus on getting my mana pool back up.
Some things I go through in my head.
Changing to the Violet Eye exalted healing ring (I have the tanking ring, so I'd really rather not do that) instead of Prince's ring that I'm wearing.... like I said, I'm not so hot for that idea since I may have to whip out the tanking set, since my paladin isn't up to raiding snuff yet for tanking.
I currently have 39 badges. I could either:
Buy Essence of the Martyr to replace Oshu'gun relic, adding 31 to my healing
get the Voodoo Shaker to replace Aran's sapphire for more spirit and stamina
get the badge cloth healing helm, but I see it as a minor upgrade, and not worth 50 badges (why isn't there a leather badge helm?)
get the badge cloak to help out with more stats
I do have the normal SV cloak if I want to get 15 INT and lose 13 healing and 4 mp5. Not sure that's a good trade-off at this point.
So makeover-mavens... Where do you go in my shoes?

Most druids don't have a huge mana pool. Try +heal +spirit gems, not Mp5. Innervate and tree buff stack with spirit, and therefore WAY better reguardless how much int you have. I would worry more about regen over int.
IMO, you're weak points are head, cloak, and weapon. With the S2 weapon coming, and your head being descent, although not epic... I would go with the cloak or trinket. It's up to you really. The voodoo shaker would be cool too, but I don't think that is really a weak point for you. You also have high int for your level of healing. Just a couple more points would put spirit gems over mp5 gems within 5sr as well as out of 5sr.
BTW, you can have 2 lowercity prayer books equipped at the same time. This makes essence of martyr a minor upgrade to your normal +healing. Unfortunately, they share the cd, and martyr will give you a buff when things get hairy. I would replace the off hand soon, but it's not a big upgrade for you. The voodoo shaker will bump your regen, but not as much as you think. Top that off with the fact that you generally won't be using your own innervate...
IMO, cloak or shaker. If you want +heals over stats, go with the trinket. It's really up to you. Shaker will bump your regen as well, and be the best for you IMO. None of them will really bump you much, and the cloak is the most expensive.

If you're referring to my boots, I had them before the new spirit regen rule, so, yeah, they're still nightseyes :)

I do have the 2nd prayerbook, it's just a waste that you can only ever use one of them, which is why I'm partial to something like Essence, or something like the Black Morass haste trinket.

Yep, the downfall of dual prayerbooks. It's up to you. You won't really need the +healing much(once you do the changes you are talking about), so I would go for the stats. Cloak or shaker. The shaker will be quick and easy to get. The cloak is kinda a downgrade on your +healing, but way better on stats. I would hope for the cloak drop off prince and stick with the shaker and trinket unless you are planning to do a lot of pvp. Then it's all about kharma's shroud of hope! =)
