I am awesome.

I am using Outfitter for this purpose and it works very well for me.

You know that you play too much WoW if you partners pants become a rare drop.

How do you make it switch when you Evocate? Is it another module or something I'm missing? |

If no addon works for ya, a macro like so could do the trick:
#showtooltip Evocation
/cast [button:2] Evocation
/equip [button:2] Spirit Weapon
/equip [button:2] Spirit Wand
/equip [button:1] Normal Weapon
/equip [button:1] Normal Wand
Right-click to Evo, left-click to switch back. |

There also is a mod called SpellCraft (mage mod) which does that very well, otherwise yes Closetgnome (in the switcher module).

I found that while this works great OOC, in-combat you must press the macro repeatedly to equip weapons. So two right clicks, to get your normal gear back. At least this was the case pre 2.1.
For what it's worth, I'm using Outfitter for this as well, works well, though I'll admit it's a bit annoying using a full addon for just this.
Edit: Autospirit is a perfect Evoc addon. Using that now.

It's a module called ClosetGnome_Switcher. |

Nope, one click does it. The only thing you have to consider in combat is that re-equiping your normal gear will cause a GCD. The way I avoid it normally is starting to cast a fireball just after evocation has run out and then swapping weapons mid-cast. That way im not affected by the GCD and since +dmg bonuses are calculated on cast completion, it's win-win. |

Ah, hadn't tried changing gear during casts. Well, Autospirit works well enough, and whats better, it works regardless of your gear choices, where as a macro needs to be updated. I'm changing specs a good deal lately (Arcane and Fire) so that's nice too, and I'm a forgetful sort, so the ... "do it for me" is nice  |

ClosetGnome doesn't work for me. Switches to spirit gear when i cast evocation, but when it's finished it doesn't switch back to my normal weapons. Someone else here with the same problem?

I actually saw this recently on another forum. Someone posted a change to ItemRack that lets it distinguish between Evocation and TLC. The only catch is you have to mod it yourself
In the ItemRack folder, open localization.lua and replace line 283 with this:
["script"] = "local evoc=arg1[\"Interface\\\\Icons\\\\Spell_Nature_Purge\"]\nlocal evocSpell = GetPlayerBuffName(\"Evocation\")\nif evocSpell and evoc and not IR_EVOC then\n EquipSet() IR_EVOC=1\nelseif not evocSpell and IR_EVOC then\n LoadSet() IR_EVOC=nil\nend\n--[[Equips a set to wear while channeling Evocation.]]"
Basically it checks whether you really have the evocation buff, and not just a spell with the same icon.
Disclaimer: I don't have a lightning capacitor (my Karazhan raid is drowning in melee drops), but others have reported that this change does work. |

gimmering:
I had the same problem until I realized that you have to specify another gearset as the "default" within Switcher, or it won't switch back.

I have trouble with ClosetGnome. I use main hand + off hand as normal weapon, staff as spirit weapon. It switches to spirit staff without a problem, but when evocation ends, the offhand won't switch back : can't equip that with a two hand weapon.

Did you try what Akomos suggested above?

Well, I fixed my problem. Pretty weird still since I can't switch weapon back correctly if my set is only switching weapons. I need to have at least one other item to change, which won't change as I'm am in combat, in order to equip correctly my offhand.
Itemrack is far more easy to use for switching on event, as it will automaticly switch you back in your previous stuff at the end of the event (weather it is evocation, inervate, mount ... or anything else)

That's weird, Eruil. I use ClosetGnome_Switcher to take care of my Evo spirit staff needs, and I don't have any big issues with it (other than losing an extra GCD of DPS time after the Evo ends and it switches back to my real staff).
Then again, I'm switching staff<->staff, not staff<->1H+offhand. Could be ClosetGnome doesn't deal with that so well.
