Here's my literal "Best-In-Slot" which uses all that amazing leather gear...

[Duplicitous Guise] with RED and 10 str
[Clutch of Demise]
[Pauldrons of Berserking] with 5 str/5 sta and 5 str/5 crit
[Cloak of Unforgivable Sin] with 10 hit
[Carapace of Sun and Shadow] with 5 hit/5 agi and 2x 10 str
[Lightbringer Bands] with 10 str
[Gloves of Immortal Dusk] with 2x 10 str
[Lightbringer Girdle] with 10 str
[Felfury Legplates] with 5 str/5 sta, 5 str/5 crit, and 10 str
[Lightbringer Boots] with 10 str
[Band of Ruinous Delight]
[Hard Khorium Band]
[Dragonspine Trophy] - (or [Blackened Naaru Sliver] if it stacks off SoB)
[Shard of Contempt]
[Apolyon, the Soul-render] with 3x 10 str
[Libram of Avengement]

I would sit at, according to RAWR...

2289 AP
37.78% Crit
410 Haste
315 Armor Penetration
Hit capped
Expertise capped
+ Avengement Proc
+ DST/BNS Proc

I'm not currently a JC, but I've contemplated dropping Engineer for it for the neckpiece. It all comes down to where my gear is at at those given points and the availability of the item/pattern. However, the difference between shoulder, glove, and neck choices are all quite small. The alternatives end up at about 10-15 DPS upgrade in an optimal raid situation.

Also, I <3 my Mote Extractor and Gyrocopter and want to carry Engineering into WotLK. So yes, I'm sacrificing alittle DPS to keep my favorite profession ^_^
