(It can also save you from being reported for asking questions that have already been answered, but most people seem to view that as a fringe benefit.)

Original Post:

I am new to feral DPS and am a little confused about some of the discussions/recommendations on this thread. The OP recommends using Rawr to determine what gear choices are best for me and he also states that between 200 ArP and the ArP cap of 1200 or so, ArP is the best stat and to gem for it. Where my confusion comes in is that Rawr seems to rate gear higher when I have Agi gems in them than ArP gems. Here are my current stats with kitty gear, spec, and normal raid buffs that I get (shammy totems, flask, might, kings, etc.):

Agi 1455, Str 435, Crit Rating 613, HitRating 57, Expertise 82, Haste 314, ArP 247. I do not have any of the ArP on proc trinkets.

Should I ignore Rawr and start re-gemming for ArP or stick with Agi gems?

Also, I think Rawr is telling me that replacing my T7 helm and breaking my 2 piece bonus (helm/chest) with Guise of the Midgard Serpent (iLvl 219 helm) would be a slight dps increase. Does that seem right?
