Also I think it's a little silly to exclude Cursed Vision, Insidious Bands, Shadowmaster's, etc. If we're making a 'best in game' set, it's safe to assume we have access to it.

(on that note, we've had around 7 Cursed Visions drop. First went to a shaman, then a hunter, then a rogue, then 2 more hunters, another shaman, then a feral druid. However we've had zero glaives and only 1 bow... and 23432225 caster helms)

Yes, [Shadowmaster's Boots] is a good option too. Over my mail piece choice, it improves my personal DPS by 8.3 with only a loss of 0.12 AP on EW proc. If just considering ideal DPS, it is definitely a great option.

However, I didn't list it in my preferred set since it would make it my 3rd leather piece, and I prefer to have 2 or less pieces of leather since too much leather reduces my mana pool and my AoV regen (when being used) too much that I would probably have mana problems despite BoW, mana oil (only a single mana oil with the 2-hander), major mageblood potion, and mana pots if I do not have a shaman in my group to drop mana spring totem (never get SP since we only have 1 and we don't have a raiding ret pally). More than 2 pieces of leather is not really viable for me.

Of the 2 I chose and this piece, I personally prefer the other 2 pieces since they both increase EW proc. Furthermore, the belt is far superior choice realtively speaking than the boots, and I prefer the bracers over the boots, although the boots are a little better DPS option, because of the needed 12 HR.

But I can definitely see some people choosing those boots since they are a good option.

And I agree that no viable pieces should be excluded from the discussion. Cursed Vision is an awesome piece, and once other T6 pieces become available with 2.4 to provide more flexibility in getting the 4 set bonus, Cursed Vision will probably move onto my list, at least until I can get Duplicitous Guise.
