If you're matching sockets and trying to make them as equivalent as possible, the gemming is:

Sunblessed

22 heal
10 haste
11 heal/2 MP5

NJC

11 heal/4 spellcrit
11 heal/4 spellcrit
11 heal/2 MP5

The trade-off is then 4 MP5 and 26 spell crit against 24 haste. 4 MP5 isn't that big a difference when you already have 120-150 MP5 on your gear, so it's really down to what's worth more to you - 1.3% crit or 1.7% faster casting.

Alternately, you could jettison the idea of crit on the NJC entirely. Instead of the 11 heal/4 spellcrit gems you could use Spinels for a +22 heal increase over Sunblessed, or fill all three sockets with 11 heal/2 MP5 gems to make it a straight up contest of 24 haste vs 34 crit.

Looking at the two items as a Healadin with BS, I'd go with [Sunblessed Breastplate] ... but I'd be thinking of [Noble Judicator's Chestguard]. If I could muster around 25% Holy crit without Sunblessed, it wouldn't be a contest.

This post has insanely flawed logic. Why can you just ignore 4mp5, if you think it is so meaningless why are you gemming for mp5 then. If you could muster 25% Holy Crit? That is insanely easy to do with T6 level gear, even if you are gearing mostly for haste as well. Might know this if you have actually been to anything above SSC/TK.

My thoughts on [Sunblessed Breastplate] are it is not worth being a blacksmith for. At worst it isn't that much of an upgrade over T6, you would get much better use out of being a Enchanter/Alch or Leatherworker/Alch.
