As an ArP gemming Kitty, should I replace DMG:g +agi with the Herkuml War token, or Am i better off Spending frost on tier gear?

I'm aware im over hit under ArP, gunning for trouser tier drop from VoA on Wednesday.

Stick with DMC, HWT does offer more overall AP but DMC grants AP and crit, crit which boosts your damage and makes your "rotation" smoother potentially allowing you to squeeze a FB in or at the very least ensure nothing falls off...As apposed to haste which only effects white damage and not all damage.

One thing to keep in mind for when you'll gather enough high level gear and your crit chance will go above 66-67% unbuffed: at that point agility will lose its status as best DPS stat.
From there on, AP and haste will gain much more importance, since raid buffed and with Idol agility proc rolling you'll probably be around 74-75% crit, pretty much around the crit soft cap.
At that point, Herkuml War Token will be better.
And since you said you focus on ArP,

, why aren't you at the soft cap for NES (722)? You have some agility gems and when NES procs you are still not reaching ArP cap - which is pretty much the goal here.
As you acquire better gear, I suggest shifting towards full passive ArP (around 1200 unbuffed at least should be the goal). At that point haste will be extremely powerful and turn your melee swings into a real machine gun. Also more haste means a slightly increased chance for clearcasting procs, since OOC is not PPM based but rather has a flat 4% chance to proc.

I'm under Arp Cap, as I said, because I'm gunning for the trousers and gemming with me "having" them, dont have the cash to put all Arp in new gear now, then switch 'em out for agi when i get the new tier trousers when extra arp would be wasted on NES procs.
Thank you very much for the input :) Always good to hear from a master.
BTW on some ICC 10 trash t'other day, i did 34k DPS. Not peaked at 34K, my full DPS for the fight was 34k :D

Also Im currently at 66.83% cat forn Crit, with jsut MotW on me. I should now be looking to haste for most benefits?

After closing on white-crit cap you should try to reach exp and hit caps to increase the crit cap.
After that haste is about the only stat left that gives us something worth it's money or itembudget in this case.
True, haste becomes very powerful but I have a hunch that also strength could be a great option, since it gets almost a 19% boost from talents + Blessing of Kings. As such, buffed with Kings and Trueshot Aura (or equivalent +10% AP bonus), 1 strength = 2.875 AP. Pretty powerful if you ask me.
