well theres a few things you have to think about making this decision....
1. crystaline cuffs are cloth and if you go dwb then you will your mog wont fit as well or youll have to find a mog subsitute
2. do you want that extra bit of int to help your hit rate a bit more and have a little extra armor?

i would value the armor more, even though it is just a little bit so i vote dwb, but i would hate to ruin that beaut of a mog

I thought Crystaline is Grandfathered and Drakewing Bands are very RNG/Luck dependent (world/chest boe right?). I'd go for something more attainable unless you have that much time on your hands/already have them.

If I had to pick between the two, it would really depend on if I were hit capped or not.

Hit capped=Latter
Not Hit capped=Former
That's just me though.

Actually, edit, you're resto, so you're baseline hit capped, I'd go Crystaline.

Crystalline is GFd but there is a same stat version that still drops.
Drakewing is chest loot indeed.

crystalline until you get mindthrust.

Dont you get 15% hit for being restoration?

Also get these not crystalline Uninsured Bracers - Item - World of Warcraft

Edit: nevermind you are alliance.

hes ally...

Robust Bracers - Item - World of Warcraft of the Eagle is the only good answer. Also get the Resi Mace. Drakewing Bands is just a waste of time if they fix the hit issue.

Until hit rating is properly fixed, DWB are best in slot for resto shamans.

As resto, in the current state of battlegrounds, I would probably lean towards Drakewing, especially now that you have them and the farming would be done. I would generally favor that much intellect over that much armor, though with healing the way it currently is and considering as a healer you'll be getting focused a lot, again I'd think Drakewing. Then, perhaps the biggest thing is the hit. Missing purges is a big deal depending on the circumstance. So, again I'd lean Drakewing. That might all change though in 5.3 with Battle Fatigue changes and if they somehow decide to fix the hit issue in battlegrounds.

DWB, more armor, and hit, also, it is more rare and has a bit of a vanity factor.

1) swag
2) hit is buggy so more hit helps
3) armor
