Use RAWR or the spreadsheet to evaluate gear decisions like this. Despite the name of the thread, gear/spec choices are ultimately up to you.

Original Post:

I just completed my 4 pc. T7 on my ret pally. In the process, I lost a ton of hit from the heroic legs. So, to reach hit cap, I can either equip one of two combos of weapon/belt.

The first is Titansteel Destroyer + Flame-Bathed Steel Girdle:

Dmg: 1512-1799
Spd: 3.13 (5.34% Haste)
AP: 3450
Hit: 247 (a bit over cap w/a Draenei, which we always have in raid)
Crit: 32.12%
Expertise: 3 (Human racial)

The second setup is Wraith Spear + Girdle of the Ascended Phantom:

Dmg: 1587-1889
Spd: 3.37 (6.71% Haste)
AP: 3256 (added 4 ap for upgrading belt gem to 16 from 14 STR in it now)
Hit: 244 (a bit over cap w/a Draenei, which we always have in raid)
Crit: 34.76%
Expertise: 0

This is all ten man gear.

My armory: The World of Warcraft Armory

I'm leaning toward Wraith Spear combo right now, as it hits harder, even at the lower AP, and I get a significant crit boost. Opinions/suggestions welcome.
