Ok with the the new gear I obtained this week, I have itemized my hit and expertise. Here's my armory
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Velen&cn=Decendent
I now no longer need the Accuracy enchant.
I'm not squishy, so I don't really need Blood Draining
Mongoose procs only once every 1.2 minutes
26 Agi just seems meh
Potency seems decent at best
Blade Ward is garbage from what I have seen/read/heard
I honestly don't know what to choose...I'm actually considering Mighty Spellpower. Any advice or tips would be great, and if anyone has any other advice on my character it's welcome as well.

Go with goose still, if nothing else for the glow.

Orly?
I see Mongoose proc like crazy when I'm tanking. I went back and looked at some of my world of logs, and for most fights i have a 10-20% up time for the Lightning Speed buff.
I would go with the goose man!
Cheers,

10-20% uptime is about right for a 15 second buff at 1 proc per 1.2 minutes. Thats an average of a constant 20 agility, in which case I would be better off with the 26 agility chant...which just isn't that attractive to me.

I would argure more like 50 seconds on the proc.....but ya better reason....
if nothing else for the glow.

Thanks for the input so far. Has anyone tried Mighty Spellpower? Just to see what kind of dps/tps increase it has? I heard it gives a nice boost to your consecration ticks.

Have theckhd give you some more input. He has Mighty spell power listed too.
Note that Mongoose and 26 Agility are the only enchants that gives effective health (via armor). Mongoose works out to about 264 armor (24 stamina worth of effective health) when the buff is active, while Agility works out to be 58 armor (5.3 stam). Mongoose isn't "always on," so it's debatable whether you would count it as true effective health, but even with a 40% uptime it's about twice as effective as the Agility enchant on average.
Cheers,

I posted on this awhile ago please see
bladeward vs accuracy vs mongoose
Mongoose is better than Blade Ward due to the following proc rates
Blade ward Uptime on the proc is ~26%
Mongoose Uptime on the proc is ~46%
For more information on the basis of these studies please refer to the following links...
Elitist Jerks Uptime Study for Mongoose vs Bladeward

The problem is that math on maintankadin is outdated...the date read Aug 29, 2009. And the elitistjerks thread is even titled "3.2 Discussion". There has been several patches since then, one of which has nerfed the proc rate of Mongoose as stated in Theck's TPS report. I tested this myself last week on a target lvl 80 dummy and the uptime was ~20%. So that means 80% of the time, it would be the same as having no enchant. I want something more static then that personally. But if everyone keeps saying mongoose then it looks like blizzard has just narrowed down what we can choose from by not having anything better.
