My aim is to be a raider, I just haven't been able to apply the time I wish to. Maybe I can drag some of the guild with me. PUG's on my server never seem to work right... Can't even do Onyxia right.
As I poke around with the talent calc because I know that my current spec is all kinds of wrong, I notice that 2 points are left as floaters:
With 2 points in Stability already, is it worth it to put two more there? I don't seem to have much problem with pushback, but then with my play schedule and my guild choice, I haven't been able to do the content I want to (ToC/ICC) so I'm not sure if it comes into play more.
And I've noticed that several posts have urged moving Ice Shard's points into Frost Warding. Is this for ICC? I found use for it before as I ran IA points and was aware enough to activate a Ward before moving out of the bad stuff, or a priest friend of mine hit me with Shield.
Beyond that I'm not really sure what to do with them. SotM is viciously attacked as well, but as it improves your spirit > Molten Armor > Crit, it seems like it should be more useful. Or is the points gained for the points spent not worth it mathematically? I have read that Arcane doesn't scale well with crit, but crit is still crit.

Yay math lessons that aren't calculus or school-based! ^.^
Learn a little more and more every day. Since I can't play, this is sort of working to stem my craving, lol.
So, as for the rest of my question, any suggestions for talents? And i couldn't get the blasted talent calc to link, drat these forums...

When one has a different and unrelated thought, isn't that what you're supposed to do?

Student of the Mind : I still have some t9 pieces, and with BoK, MoW, and DS I have ~740 Spirit
SotM gives me an additional 74, which is ~41 crit rating with Molten Armor (52 with 2pT9)
That's ~1% critical strike chance for 3 talent points, and I have more spirit than I would have if I was wearing ICC gear.
This is what I use (for heroics and VoA mostly) :

An ICC raid spec might look like this :

Thanks for the number comparison. It was as I figured, but nice to see reasoned numbers, not "GRAAAH DONT TAKE!"
