Original Post:

To start off LVL 80 Boomkin on Executus
So far I have been rather casual in WoTLK and have been doing primarily 5-man runs with the occasional raid. Nevertheless I always strive to at least be at the hit cap for if/when I begin raiding. I personally feel as though my stats are currently rather respectable for my lvl of play.

I now have a dilemma, I can now get 2xT8 with emblems of conquest. But this will eat away at my crit like CRAZY if I take the T8 head and chest. Any recommendations for keeping a respectable lvl of crit?

Here is a link to my armory:
The World of Warcraft Armory

For those of you who notice I am currently under the hit cap, I can simply equip my [Mark of the War Prisoner] and be smack dab right on it. Also, please don't recommend that I get the Emblem of Valor Idol as I almost have enough [Emblem of Triumph] to get that idol.

I guess what I am really asking is, short of re-gemming for crit, is there any good gear out there I can get without raiding that will keep crit up with the addition of the T8 Head/Chest to my current gear? Or should I gem for crit? Even though I think that sounds silly, since everything I have EVER read puts SP>crit. Or is this something I shouldn't really worry about?

I guess I am just at a loss, I would like to get the T7.5 Leggings with Emblems of Valor(so I could maintain T7 2 piece bonus and get the T8 2 piece bonus), but would lose stats, also interested in [Wildstrider Legguards] but can't tell if the T7 2 piece bonus is worth more than the stats gains from what I have or not... GRRR... this is just getting frustrating.

I feel like all of the badge gear that I can get would be minor upgrades at best and so I haven't done anything, but I am sitting on like 100+ [Emblem of Conquest] and I guess I just want help on what to do next.

Please, SOMEBODY/ANYBODY help me! OR... refer me to a different thread.
