Savage Emissary vs Valorous Crypt.

So I've been using the
Handgrips of the Savage Emissary
for ages now. Having just won the
Valorous Cryptstalker Handguards
on OS, I was debating which was better. Given I'd put an 8Agi, 8crit gem in it, the sums add up to:
change to valorous :
+7AP
-35crit
+39 haste
+31 armour pen
My haste is at 6.5% atm. To be honest, I've never really bought the whole 'haste over crit' argument. Crit is dps in the bank, haste, a bit wooly, only affects your 2 weakest shots. And armor pen is just rubbish
Despite being L213, I'm inclined to stay with the savage emissary. What are your guys thoughts?

I'd bank the Cryptstalkers until you get a second Valourous piece and can take advantage of the set bonus.

I have the set bonus without them, thankfully :). Good, thanks for the replies, just wanted to make sure I wasn't just being a muppet
Edit : having just upgraded from Hyaline to Valorous Crypt helm, The (4) set bonus is now on?
So, the stat changes above, combined with +20% rate in viper.. make it worth it? I find in 10 mans, I do need to use viper on things like KT

IMO the Valorous are better if you socket them for +16 agility. Here is the
comparison.
Rusted-Link Spiked Guantlets
pawn both of those though, and are usually pretty cheap on the AH. I picked up a pair for my enhance shaman for 300g the other night.
As far as haste and armor pen go... .sure they aren't always great stats, but they are far from throw-away. It's foolish to completely ignore them.
I'm gonna save Euripides some time and recommend that you go get the DPS spreadsheet from Elitist Jerks and import your character into it. That will answer all of your gear comparison questions pretty definitively.

Funny story, the day after I won the Gauntlets I saw the Handgrips drop AND also won the Valorous token. I passed on the handgrips and ticketed a GM to transfer the glove token to my guild's tank, and he had Heroes at the time so was an upgrade in all stats to him.
Actually that's not really funny is it?
