I suppose your tag should modified so that it supports item ids as well. Then you could use 34074, which would show up the epic ring.

In other words, scripts using our XML feeds should always use the item id instead of the item name when pulling the tooltip of an item whose name isn't unique.

Yeah, or even, for ease of use, http://www.wowhead.com/?item=34074 where the script just gets the id it needs from the URL so the user just has to copy the address bar on the item they want to link.

That sounds snazzy.
