Always defer to the Red gem unless the socket bonus would provide 20+ Strength or a high value of an important secondary (i.e. 40 Haste).

Never gem expressly for hit, even if you are under the cap. Given the stat priority discussed earlier, it is a greater DPS sin to miss out on potential strength. Reforging is the best and most flexible method to negotiate the proper hit rating. If, however, an extra 50 rating would fit into your calculations more neatly, I have included the optional 50 hit rating to boots in the enchants section below.

Pretty much a no-brainer. The requirement is effortless to fulfill as your gear will have an abundance of Red gems.

[Bold Chimera's Eye]
The best and clear choice for those with Jewelcrafting as a tradeskill.
