My current crappy welfare PvP set. Now, I just want to know if I'm gemming/enchanting correctly, and using the right pieces (IE, mooncloth as opposed to Satin). That's all. Nothing else.
Thanks.
EDIT: The buggy profiler is wrong on some stats.
My Resilience is 1081, not 1373. Providing -11.47% crit, -25% mana drain and crit damage, and -23% damage reduction.
I also have 2593 SP, not 2503.
Also, I have 7.84% haste, not 13.84%. This must be because it's taking
Enlightenment
into consideration, and WoW client's character page does not.

Yeah, as of right now, I really only do the daily BG, and 10 arena matches per week for the free arena points. My arena partner is in all 251's/264's and stuff, and he ain't too happy that I'm not as geared as him. We don't do too bad in Arena, though I'm still learning. Last season we managed to get to 1600 team/individual rating, but he stopped doing Arena for whatever reason, a couple months before 3.3 hit.
Do you get extra arena points per Tuesday for being in more Arena groups? IE, being in 3v3 and 5v5 group as well, as opposed to just being in 2v2.
- Consider Battlemaster's Ruination. It can give you that little extra push of health when you need it. Solace is nice, but it's only really a luxury that Humans can afford.
I'll stick with my Heroic Solace, thanks.

Mp5/haste offpieces when hitcapped and not playing double healer 3s (like FaDeS said, this is pretty much the only situation where you'd want the spirit pieces, see fx spirit v mp5 chart in
http://www.arenajunkies.com/showthread.php?t=50657
). Mooncloth is still the set to use.
When you've geared up (
do pvp daily every day, do wg on all your 80 chars every week and convert stonekeeper's shards into honor tokens you send to your priest
) you should be able to switch to gemming for haste / regen; consider using at least ashen verdict rep ring or even two PvE rings (since the crit on the wrathful ring is mediocre for us even though it's still a good item to have until the point where you can start dropping resilience again).
I play 2s with a rogue friend mostly for fun on my priest, currently ~1800 rated and aiming for something like

at the end of the season.
Having a heroic Solace will help you to no end, I'd switch my Lunar Dust with one before the drool hit the floor if I could.

Not to derail the topic overmuch, Furious (in the current season) is welfare to some extent since you can get it doing heroics. You could argue that so is Relentless through frost badgers, although I suspect most would say it's far too early to call it that since people are going to need their aforementioned tokens for other things for quite some time.
Off pieces require far more effort than PvE items do or have done for a long time but there's still little required in the way of skill to acquire them, you could probably get to 1400 with a 30% winrate at very low mmr as long as you played enough games for the few honor pieces that require rating.
That said, people often (mis)treat the term welfare to indicate either effort (patience or lack thereof) or skill and not a combination of the two - just pointing out plausible explanations to why it is (can) still be called welfare despite the reasons for it having changed.

whats funny is you call PvP armor wellfare...lol....now a days its harder to get PvP gear then it is to get PvE gear
just funny that people still call PvP items wellfare....not that way anymore sir
Er...
Furious (in the current season) is welfare to some extent since you can get it doing heroics..
This is what I meant. Furious is the new "low" tier PvP gear, so it's practically welfare PvP gear.
And yeah, I've got the ilvl 277 DPS Ashen Verdict ring, should I use that instead of the 245 +hit ring?
Also, updated my PvP set in Profiler. See the link in the first post.

Probably a good idea. It doesn't really matter which version of the Ashen Verdict ring you're using, you'll be able to make full use of the stats of either. I dare say that the proc on the caster ring is actually slightly more useful, but regardless, it's fine to roll with whatever you've picked for your PvE main spec.
I'd pick either the haste or mp5 neck, apart from that it looks fine until you bump up your gear a tier or so and can start changing gems.
