The easy answer to your post is to use the spreadsheet to run both of your setups and see what the estimated DPS ends up being. My guess is that you're trying to stack a stat that's a little rougher to come by at your progression level at the expense of more prevalent ones that are equally as crucial for DPS. One of the other things you have to consider with trying to get a shot rotation down that low is that there are active haste effects that can muck up your rotation. (Lust, Drums, Rapid Fire, DST, Haste Pots, etc)

Now that I've answered the original question, watch your capitalization and don't use so many unnecessary ellipses.

Original Post:

I'm currently (partially out of boredom and partially to test it) rolling a hasted hunter. My intent, due to GCD's, is to drop my shot speed using passive haste to 1.7sec on the Xbow. Once I am that low I will be looking to pick up a 3.0 speed harder hitting bow (PRAYING for the Brutal Glad) which should give me a "normalish" 1.9 BM attack speed on a very hard hitting bow.

Bearing in mind I'm trying to stack haste and need to reach 236 passive haste rating to reach this, I've currently run into a situation I don't know what to do with.

Is armor penetration going to be as crucial to current end-game boss fights as I've been told and read? My guild is currently 5/5, 6/9 and learning Mother. I've been told that especially for the Illidan fight armor pen is going to be crucial by a few more progressed hunters on the server...if it is...is Angelista's revenge going to be worth the 60 badges it costs compared to the rings I am using now?

here is my current armory... CrosskillPvE

Gear that will change for hasted set will be...
Head - Brutal Glad
Neck - Endless Nightmares
Back - Cloak of Fiends
Belt - Valestalker Girdle
Boots - Quickstrider Mocassins
Bow - 3.0 speed (Betrayer or S3/4 Bow)
Trinket1 - Berzerkers Call

The full set should put me at the following (with AoTH on)
agi: 587
ap: 2074
hit: 123
crit: 27.79
p-haste 237
shot speed: 1.9
shots/sec 31.57894737

Please remember that the purpose of stacking this haste is to carry a slower speed, harder hitting bow but keep a 1:1 rotation as BM. My primary set outside of raid situations is a pvp set.

Additional information:

typical raid buffs I receive every raid that are pertinent: MOTW, Might, Kings, Wisdom, WoA Tot, Imp FF. The low agi/crit are not a major concern to me as I am pushing 40% crit and 2500+ap in most raids. I also use hit food to reach cap and typically (thanks to an alt elixir master) use major agility and draenic wisdom...

any thoughts, comments, concerns, and/or criticism would be appreciated...
