2x 2pc or 4pc bonus?

So I finally got my 4th T13 token from raid finder last night, and now I have to choose if I should give up my T12 2pc bonus. I know the T13 4pc bonus is great for additional raid heals on some harder fights, but right now, my DK pretty much only tanks in LFR, and the occational 10 man normal.
So the question is, is the T12 2pc bonus worth letting go for just a 378 to 384 upgrade?

You NEED tanking 4 pieces this tier. DK 4 piece is especially OP due to the 1 minute CD. Plus wasn't the t12 2 piece some stupid DoT crap? That isn't worth it even if the secondary stats might weigh slightly in their favor (Too lazy to check if they do.)

With where I am at with my DK, the secondary stats are really a non-issue for me. I have plenty of mitigation, mastery...ect for the content I am running. So it really comes down to:
Allowing my Vamp Blood healing to extend to the raid for a while, or
Getting a DoT tick and having all attacks hit as if both disease's were applied.
While I like the disease effect, it really isnt all that big, considering I "should" have both up at all times anyway. I just wasnt sure how much DPS/TPS the DoT was worth, and if the small upgrade in stats would be better.
I realize the 4pc set bonus is necessary at higher progression levels, but this guy is an alt that will never see anything beyond 10man normals, and is usually only tanking in LFR.

The dot hardly does any damage and threat is a non issue. Having an extra raid cooldown with a 1 minute cooldown is much better.

2x 2pc is fine for LFR / dungeons, once onto raiding (even 10-man) you should get 4pc T13. that said, the T12 2pc is very minor, so even for dungeons / LFR i'd recommend T13 4pc

The DoT was about 400 DPS. Not remotely worth it.

The slight increase in strength on new gear probably does more than that lmao.

Thanks...this was what I was looking for. I dont run recount in LFR due to lag issues, so I really didnt have a good "real world" idea of what damage the DoT really did. I appreciate the responses, and its off to the vendor for my 4pc.
