A question about Emblem of Frost upgrades.

Firstly,
this
is my priest. As you can see; my specs are disc and shadow. Discipline is my main spec with better gear than my off-set for shadow.
At the moment, I have around 50
emblems
and I'm rather curious about how I should go about spending them. I am looking into saving more emblems to purchase a new
robe
,
gloves
,
belt
and
trinket
- as I do not think the 4-set bonus is really worth it. It is worth noting that I am not much of a raider, and pretty much exclusively run 10 mans on the occasion that I do raid. My question is in which order you think I should purchase these items, bearing in mind that I rarely raid.
For some extra information about the
trinket
;
NMIC
will likely be replaced by the
Dust
, unless I get
lucky
- in which case the
Dust
will replace my
talisman
. I am aware that my boots badly need upgrading; and I am working on getting
these
crafted as they are currently much more affordable than the
ICC recipe
boots, which I will purchase when I can afford them.
Additionally, I am aware that my
OH
sucks, and I'm working on getting
this
from H HoR. I am also using
Emblems of Triumph
to upgrade my blue gems to epic ones where available. Thanks for reading, and thank you in advance for any advice.

Good Off-Hand - ToC25 (not sure if its from Twins) or Lady Deathwhisper 10 man (got hit but are pretty good imo)
Boots - Council 10-man
Robe - Merlin's Robe
Trinkets - Silver of Pure Ice is pretty easy to get and Talisman of Ressurgence is still pretty good, unless you don't have more upgrades to do don't buy Purified Lunar Dust, try to get Solace from Jaraxxus 25 which is way better than it
I would go for Gloves but t10 gloves can drop from VoA so it's really your choice
Can't see your armory so don't know which cloak you've, but unless you've the one from Anub 25 you should get the Frosts Cloak

<snip>Unfortunately, ToC 25 PuGs are a pain in the ass because I think the guild is more focused on ICC currently and I've not raided it with the guild yet. I was considering Merlin's robe; but decided against it incase T10 legs or gloves dropped in VoA andI can't see myself getting Solace any time soon unfortunately, as I'm pretty much exclusively 10 man. :(
Additionally, I am currently wearing the frost cloak. ^_^
Thank you for the advice though.

Here
is the right armory(if im correct), seems like you lost an "n" at the back of the url there:)
Personally i would aim for getting Meteor Chaser's first, then belt and hope for voa25 to drop legs/hands for 2set (if you do want this bonus, which personally i think is decent for atleast tankhealing disc - also presuming you do pug this once in a while)
if you do not wish to have the 2set even Idd go for Meteor Chaser's then hands > belt.
ToC10 drops a quite decent belt with spirit crit, cant remember which boss.
If you get the opportunity, do razorscale in ulduar10 and try to get broodmother, awesome trinket.
Personally i dont think the dust is so awesome, but then again i havent tried it. i dont really need the mana though, Talisman of ressurgence is a personal preference above it for me atleast.
Good luck :)

Thanks, sorry I didn't notice I had cut off my link. :<
Thank you for the advice, I was mostly torn between robe/belt! I still maintain some hope for my T10 to drop in VoA, but thank you for the help yet again. ;)

The first thing I bought were the gloves. They were the biggest amount of upgrade-per-emblem cost, and they're Disc's best in slot :)

Gawd, now I'm split between the robe and the gloves! Thank you for the advice though guys. ;)

Both chest and gloves are bis if you are disc and dont plan to get tierchest/tiergloves
Chest:
+31 Int
+31 Sta
+12 Crit
+108 Haste
+40 SP
+1 yellow Socket (+2 sp on socketbonus)
-72 spirit
hands:
+24 Int
+24 Sta
+80 Crit
+4 Haste
+26 SP
+1 yellow Socket(+2 sp on socketbonus)
-52 spirit
this might make your choise slightly easier. the real question is can you be arsed to wait for 95 emblems or do you wanna go for the "easy upgrade" and get gloves.
edit: although not being alot of upgrades on gloves with both haste and crit is very true. good point to get gloves first. Sindragosa got a decent chest atleast.
edit again: Belt would be last choice for me atleast. haste + spirit vs haste + crit, simple choice. there's a good belt from putricide10 i think.

Thank you! I think I will go for the robe first; because then other upgrades will come more quickly! Cohut, you helped immensely. ;)

i've the exact same problem^^ the chance to drop is really low and all that puggers hate me :( i've done them with guild alts (5 healers all from guild, and we're 3 mains rolling for solace - at least it goes for the guild) but never saw it drop :(
I would go for Gloves, get Silver of Pure Ice, then 2 pieces of T10 (Chest/Head/Shoulders - pick two, or get lucky and have the legs dropping in VoA) and then the Belt just after all of this consider of purchasing the frosts trinket
