Boomkin readiness check & trinket question

Post by djlowrider

Hey there folks. Thought I'd get some criticism & thoughts on my Boomkin set. As far as I can tell I'm pretty much ready for raiding, but I figure getting another few pair of eyes on my gear wouldn't hurt.

Here's a link to my profile.

I only have a couple of ilvl333 pieces left (boots and a ring), but I am working on replacing them. I foresee more H-HoO runs this weekend.

I'm working on saving up the mats for proper enchants like Lavawalker, Peerless Stats, and Power Torrent.

I'm not sure I'm properly gemmed or reforged, but I am nonetheless hit-capped so I figure that's a good starting place. Advice here would be very appreciated.

My last question is regarding trinkets. I have the Heroic versions of Anhuur's Hymnal and Gale of Shadows, but I also have the normal version of Sorrowsong in the bank right now. I love Gale of Shadows, but should I be swapping in Sorrowsong for bosses in its place? Seems to me that the huge spellpower boost for the last 30% of a boss would be very worthwhile to help burn it down. If the answer is, "Yes, definitely" then I'll probably try to get the Heroic version of it as well. Every bit helps, after all.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Sorrowsong is indeed a nice trinket but keep in mind that the heroic proc averages out to ~300 SP across an entire boss fight. The only thing that would make this more effective is to have Hero popped in that last 35%. That does not make it a terribly strong trinket in the end. The only thing that would make it more powerful if you had Hero/Lust in those last 35%, OR you have adds you kill periodically during the fights. Up to you how you use it but Gale of Shadows is going to be a stronger trinket.

you're passing up a boatload of mana regen

Out of combat mana regen only.

No one but healers gets spirit regen in combat any more.
