I actually had a chance at the T5 shoulders and nabbed those quickly to replace my FSW shoulders. I've been wanting to play with the two-piece T4 bonus, and was intending on using the classic shoulders/chest combo as my experiment, but loot didn't pan out for me, and the T5 shoulders are just great itemization over FSW, point for point.

Now I've waited for everyone in my token group to grab their T4 chest, so I'll be grabbing mine to activate a two piece set bonus. I'm basically following the exact plan Tet laid out, and will be using my T4 gloves to serve as the second piece. I'm not expecting an out-right upgrade, but am hoping the hit rating increase will allow me to let go of my infinite jewel offhand from netherspite, and let me use my soul eater orb once again, which is a very decent shadow damage upgrade for me. We'll see though, luckily everyone in my token group is done with T4 chests, so it's a free experiment =)

I've never been able to get a flowing wrap off Attumen, so I've been hobbling by with a Soul eater gloves from Mag (not a slouch item, just not ideal). Sadly, I'm still working up the money for the spellstrike pants (just blew too much building my blessings deck, oh well, one thing at a time).

What are thoughts on breaking the two-piece spellstrike set to use the cowl off VR out of curiousity? Just got mine, and am still going to make my pants, but very undecided on whether to use the cowl or the spellstrike hood for the two-piece bonus. I see it's a popular choice for most destro warlocks, but I'm still hesitant to break the bonus purely off observing my shadow priest friends using it. I'm mainly affliction these days in our raid just for a little background.
