But what about the extra hit rating that would be wasted since I am already hit cap!?
Spirit is going to be valued slightly higher for you due to your racial, but what you're seeing is the basics of arc dps: more mana == more damage. Be sure to adjust the fight length, uptime, and spriest mp5 to a variety of values. The defaults are for a comparatively long 5 minute stand and nuke, while I find a 220 or 260 second fight to be more representative of mana usage during a t5 fight--fights longer than that normally have fairly significant downtime/regen.

There are several options you can take to get rid of +hit: get the Vindicator's/SSO neck, Belt of Blasting, or back points out of Arcane Focus for use elsewhere since you're at the hit cap for taking 2 out.
