From what I read just using the runestone, wasn't an option.  Those trinkets I wrote, that's what I can use. And swap between.
Will I loose more dps if I swap out the pyrite bcus of loosing lots of hit? Even though I am already way over hitcap?

I'm experiencing some odd behaviour in the combat spreadsheet. When I unselect the SS glyph my dps goes UP. I'm not replacing it with anything, just unselecting it, so the spreadsheet is telling me I'm better off with only two glyphs than with three, one of which is the SS glyph.
That seems wrong.
This is a link to my spreadsheet:
Dracen - Combat_1.4.xls
(PS: I saved it to uploading.com as I could not find a way to attach it to this post. I'm sure I'm missing something. If someone were to PM me an explanation or link to an explanation in this regard I would be appreciative)

@Erilool: What Fearendil meant was use Mjolnir Runestone as a place holder for Needle Encrusted Scorpion in the spreadsheet. It won't be entirely accurate, but they have fairly similar stats (don't know about the proc rate thought), so that may be a reasonably solution until it is actually modelled.
@Dracen: I remember Aldriana mentioning that the results excluding glyph of SS aren't really reliable, it may be hard-coded into the sheet, meaning if you take it out you'll be getting odd results. Seeing as Glyph of SS is a rather substantial dps boost compared to the other glyphs available, thats one glyph you really shouldn't be dropping anyway. Try replacing glyph of eviscerate if you want to use a different glyph.

That's accurate. I finished it last night, and only the swords were available.

Trying to find the best combination of gems to use my old combat gear as mutilate, I ran into a situation where I'm crit-capped, then, switching from a 20 haste to a 20ap/10haste gem (in a yellow slot) gets me not crit-capped. How is this possible if there's no hit or crit change in my gear when doing so?

Im currently running with only +245 gear and mutilatespecced with AP and ap/haste gem and a ruptureless cycle. I'm hitcapped with alot also.
The trinkets I have atm is -
[Banner of Victory]
[Pyrite Infuser]
cheers

If you're over the poison hit cap there is no point in keeping [Pyrite Infuser]

I've found a bug in 1.4 Combat: it's not a big deal since very few people is using pure yellow gems as combat, but the hit gems (20 and 34) are listed as orange gems (D21 & D22 cells (red) of the Gems page are set to 1, as well as the yellow ones).
Also, since most of us are switching to mutilate because it's absurdly OP at the moment, but at the same time want to keep the gear usable for combat, it would be nice to have the 20 haste gem in the combat sheet. I've modified my local copy (modifying the 34 hit gem, since i'm not JC), but I'm sure many people would find it useful if you add the haste gems as an option.

Unless, of course, he was at the hard cap, then yeah, you might have to adjust gear or the precision talent to find the best combination.

Otherwise, I have no idea - I'll probably just live with being capped as combat, hoping that I don't need to use it much, since I never wanted to roll on tokens against guildies who had a need for offset t9 pieces. It's about a 175 dps loss for me to blow 4 red gem slots on wasted expertise as combat.

I suggest also letting go a point or two from the Expertise talent. It's easier that way and plus, you get an extra 2 points for some other utility talent.

I'm trying to figure out how to regem with the 1.4 Combat Sheet, and it's dramatically changing recommendations. As I gem more Agility, it's worth becomes less and less until it reaches 1.99999 and then the sheet recommends AP-based gems. As I switch to AP gems, Agility's value goes above 2.0 and becomes the recommendation. I've read the last ten pages thoroughly and haven't come across any justification for this change. Shouldn't Agility always be worth more due to Kings?
EDIT: lade answered my question via Private Messages. For the benefit of anyone wanting to know the same thing: Poisons scale with AP that you have, but reach the Spell Crit cap at 150% instead of 200%. At some point your gear gets more out of AP for poison damage than Agility. I'm apparently right on that point with my current gear and just 3 gem changes can tip me one way or the other.

It's particularly nice for those that are stuck taking 5/5 CQC, or who are using a trinket with a Crit Cap affecting proc in their other slot, as, like Whispering Fanged Skull discussed above, it does not effect the cap when it procs, and it's passive stats actually lift the cap.

imp poisons vs vile poisons
Maybe I am crazy, but it would seem logical that Vile Poisons would be much more heavily weighted then Imp Poisons on basis that 20% more damage from poisons in general out weighs having a more chances for instant and deadly since with the patch now your instant automatically hits if you have a 5 stack of deadly on already. Unless the stacks drop on a consistent basis and imp poisons prevents that, i think the extra damage would be a better choice
If anyone can show me the error here i would be much appreciative

The increased proc rate for Imp. Poisons effectively double dips - the increased proc rate on Deadly Poison results in more refreshes of your 5 stacks, which in turn is more Instant Poison procs off of your mainhand, in addition to the increased proc chance on direct MH procs. The spreadsheets model both talents. Unless something is wrong with the modeling (of which there is no indication to my knowledge), they should be able to tell you what exact spread between the two talents along the spectrum of 0/3 + 5/5 and 3/3+2/5 is optimal for your specific gear. Both talents result in 'extra damage'. The question is how much.

Somebody knows, how to change poisons in Mutilate Spreadsheet? I'm thinking about fast mainhand with Deadly Poison and slow off-hand with Instant Poison, but I don't know how to check it =\
Also in Mutilate Spreadsheet little mistake - Wrist "Tossk's Maximized Wristguards" (264ilvl) have no yellow socket =(
