I'm not saying don't gem around a great stat like crit, I'm saying don't waste it on poor synergy with an energizer bunny spec like endless rage. You insist on insulting me because you are defending what I consider to be a lackluster gem/spec combo that you don't even use on your warrior (hey, I actually did bother to look up your armory).

I also don't believe I counteracted my own statement with my rebutal. I said I wouldn't bother gemming for crit if not for flurry, therefore I think gemming for crit without flurry is not worth the sockets because of resilience negation; without the additional rage/white damage that comes from flurry, the build weakens.

Again, you seem to think I disagree with crit, this is false. I just find it odd that people gem for a highly negateable stat without pursuing some kind of synergy.

Edit: When I say "gem for" I mean excessivley like lionseyes in every yellow and pyrestones in every red, not anyone who strives to achieve a balance of crit and strength which is extremely reasonable.

ER, for me, will put out more damage than any other spec that contains TM (Sorry, Don't know how people do it without TM, spell reflecting cyclones and intervening/disarming has saved waaayyy too many games for me.). I do take 4/5 Imp MS, the cool down difference is extremely noticeable and allows me to put out much more damage over a fight that I am ignored in.

Again, though, this spec is for a specific double healer comp. I never advocated it as a great spec for everything and that gemming for crit *with this* spec was optimal.

Also, its very possible to achieve a balance with Pyre/Lions, especially if my non-PvP pieces are heavily AP based (bloodboils ring)...You assume way too much from a simple statement, your gems should be a product of the entirety of your gear, not some set in stone thing.
