Might want to tell us who you are before that post count gets any higher.

Original Post:

This is something that has bothered me for a long time, and the spreadsheet seems to confirm, but not only was I unable to get my gladiator's right and left weapons in time to raid, my guild crashed, so I came here looking for your opinions.

Basically, for fist weapons, I'm under the impression that the focus should be on crit, rather than hit. So, I did a test. After reading the value of weapon expertise and hit rating, I went on the spreadsheet with some Kara/Gruul level equips, and switched out various gems until I got either the best hit, (309+Dragonspine+talents discussed priorly), or the highest crit. Both sets had the same amount of ap. Now, for unbuffed, I removed the ability to rupture, because if you're unbuffed, you aren't raiding, but probably killing random mobs and don't have time for rupture to tick down.

For the hit setup, I had (unbuffed):
Gladiator's Right/Left Rippers+mongoose
309+hit
Dragonspine
1569ap
30.72%crit

Which equaled 937.00 Unbuffed dps

For the crit setup, I had (unbuffed):
Gladiator's Right/Left Rippers+mongoose
276+hit
Dragonspine
1569ap
32.11%crit

Which equaled 946.19 Unbuffed dps

Now, since no one really cares how or what you do in your spare time, I went into buffed dps and reactivated rupture.

Hit gear (buffed)
Gladiator's Right/Left Rippers+mongoose(windfury main/deadly oh)
309+hit
Dragonspine
2884ap
37.78%crit

Which equaled 1686.66 3snd/5r cycle dps

Crit gear (buffed)
Gladiator's Right/Left Rippers+mongoose(windfury main/deadly oh)
276+hit
Dragonspine
2886ap (not sure where the 2ap is coming from. All the numbers adding to ap are the same on both sheets)
39.22%crit

Which equaled 1702.31 3snd/5r cycle dps

If anyone wants to see the spreadsheets, I'll upload them somewhere so you can see exactly what I'm talking about, but so far, crit has been my spec of choice for fist weapons. Anyone else have an opinion on this? Sorry for questioning this hit rating bandwagon that alot of rogues seem to be jumping onto, but I'm just curious.
