Like Murna said if you are using the FBN addon then gem for Arpen and ignore Rawr. If not then follow Rawr until it tells you to gem Arpen.

Setboni: Again nightcrowler (gotta love this guy) ran simulations with 2t7, 2t7/2t8, 2t8, 4t8. Use 2T7/2t8 until you get 4T8.

You should ask yourself:
Do you have Problems with the Priority Rota?
-If yes try to use FBN and gem for Arpen.

Do you run 10 or 25, is trauma and Sunder always on the target?
-If yes arpen will be a better stat.

Do you use some of the gear for tanking?
-If yes gem for Agi. ( I had that problem since I am ST in my guild.)

Is there a chance you will get an Arpenproctrinket in the near future?
Do you have a good OoC management?
Do you use some gear for PVP?
You don`t have a manglebot, and you have problems with Mangel/rip uptime?

The gem question is only interesting once you have no more issues with your Rota or use FBN.

Thanks for the info.

I do struggle a little bit to keep up the priority rotation. There are times when my SR drops or rip isn't up. I have to mangle myself and can keep that and rake up pretty decently but still working on getting the rythm for rip and SR. I very rarely get a chance to have 5 CPs and enough time for a FB so i usually just sit on the 5CPs and wait for rip or SR to get close to expiration. I only get to DPS on 25man VoA/Naxx/OS/EoE (mostly pugs). For Ulduar, I am on heals as that is my main spec.

I am gemmed all Agi right now because I started feral using almost all the same pieces for tanking and dps. I am starting to collect pieces that i can use specifically for DPS so I now have a little more choice for gemming and enchants. That was the reason for my post. I didn't want to spend 80g per gem and then have to go back and replace them all. I already spend way to much playing around with my healing gear
