Original Post:

Hey guys! I'm having a small argument with my officers about what item benefit me the most.

I happen to do PvP occasionally, and play it on a quite high level. This grants me some higher level gear as [Ruthless Gladiator's Spellblade]http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/item/70188

So the question is. I have a choice between this dagger and [Globe of Moonlight]http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/item/70112

Or wielding: [Funeral Pyre]http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/item/71039

I keep telling my officers that I'm not wielding the dagger for itemlevel purpose but, to do more damage.

The stat difference is, as I've reforged: Dagger + MH gives me 302 more spellpower, while the Staff gives me instead 0.22 more mastery and 0.58% crit.

I ran these options in SimCraft which gave me these numbers:

SimC Results:

Patchwerk-style:
PvP Blade + OH: 28498dps
Staff: 27955dps

HelterSkelter:
PvP Blade + OH: 21217dps
Staff: 20775dps

This apparantly tells me, that I am correct, but I'd like to ask around abit more before I actually state this for my officers.

I know that PvP does not belong in PvE and the resilience is a waste in PvE. All I want to do is increase my damage, not having high itemlevel. Otherwise I'd be wielding full pvp gear. Although in this matter, it's an improvement.

What is your opinion?
