For the sake of simplicity I've assumed a
Relentless Earthstorm Diamond in the meta sockets and a
Delicate Living Ruby (Gladiator's red socket) or
Shifting Nightseye (Goggles' blue socket). With these, the stats in both boil down to:
Gladiator's:90 ap, 1.76% crit, 490 hp, 811 armor, 2.16% dodge, 24 resilience, +3% crit dmg done
Goggles:116 AP, 1.32% crit, 1.72% hit, 340 hp, 766 armor, 0.8% dodge, +3% crit dmg done
You can obviously change the gems all you want if you f.ex. feel that you need more raw AP instead of the agility.
For PvE purposes I'd say the goggles are better unless you're already hit capped without them. I seriously won't bother searching through all the 70 orc hunters on Malfurion-US and guessing which one is yours, so I can't know.
