Where do i lose 50+ sp for 2% crit?

Before I went to my current enchant setup, I had over 300 static spellpower on my resto shaman.
In many cases, AGM is not favored over the BM trinket. With the BM trinket you get a little over 1% damage reduction and the health increase on a short CD. AGM has been nurfed too badly, for now.
Depending on your style, healthpool and spellpower, stone bulwark may be the talent of choice.

Spitting on 12 stam baseline for 1 % damage reduction ?
 
I'd go with pvp power on cloak.
 
Touting 15% health boost on CD when needed. When called on with buffs my shaman in BGs has gotten up to 6500 health because of this.
I never spit...

Sweetsidney ....

did you ever consider you might be stun, scatter, fear and you can't activate your Battlemaster in your maths ? Better get that auto triggered talent and play with AGM ? Plus absorb is like no damage for a short period while i don't even know if your Battlemaster prevent you from death considering you are gonna use it with some efficient (so basicly during huge burst while you are droping low).

I'd go with pvp power on cloak.

me too

Such nastiness...
CC's... bah.. that is Bequeathed Insignia of the Horde - Item - World of Warcraft is for, or maybe even your other teammate's dispellls'..
Can't hit BM trinket quite in time? That is Why I chose Nature's Guardian - Spell - World of Warcraft as my talent.
BM trinket on CD? I always have Horde Battle Standard - Item - World of Warcraft as a backup.
In these days and times there is no BiS slot for all classes. only what is BiS for your playstyle. Now, I have absolutely no issue managing cool downs, some people do. That is why I choose items with shorts CDs but large gains.
I have also mentioned in another thread that AGM's time may be coming back for me, maybe. It depends on what it will look like when the prepatch is released. As it is right now, on the Alpha, it still has it's +12 stamina, which will well worth getting. even without the long long shiled CD. But for me, right now, it is not worth getting, for me, as a healer.

Yup, i can understand that, i think he is gonna probably solo queue, can't aim that dispell from jajadin spam denounce rofl.

battle standard so Long CD aswell :)

with alpha notes stam give 20 HP instead of 10 it's gonna be worth having an AGM for sure you're right.

Care to translate that for me? All I really got out of it was solo queuing.
And you are correct, pretty much all I do is PuG. Otherwise, it would be too much of a cakewalk.

Back to PvP power to cloak. It all depends on if you are going to be off healing a lot and if you are going to be running with a dedicated healer. You may want to consider the stamina enchant for survivability or the intellect enchant for more "oomph". Buy more than one cloak and try several enchants out.

I said "he is gonna solo queue most of time, he can't really expect a paladin to dispell him a CC while he is busy spamming denounce :)" especially on EU side.

What you mean by oomph ? For the enchant cloak part ?

You do realize that "jaja" has several meanings. Some of which are daisy, ball, egg, the list goes on... In the case of our Spanish speaking friends, it is their version of "lol". So by calling someone a "jajadin", it would be no different than someone calling you a loldin or a lmaodin.
Not all paladins are from Spanish speaking countries. And paladins are not the only class that can dispel. As in the case of the very class that this thread is the subject.
The meaning of oomph is below.

So, in effect I indicated that an intellect enchant may give his casts a little more potency.

I understand, but why intel enchant cloak make you "oomph" (energic / enthusiastic) make no sense to me care to elaborate ?
 
But PVP power increase more the damage than intel one.

To be an effective shaman, it is not not purely about damage or DPS. Many players in the lower brackets have tunnel vision and don't envision or grasp all of the aspects of the game. That is why I suggested to stay with one class or spec and master it instead of building an "army" of toons and being mediocre at all of them.

You could use a ring of the owl to get hitcap. You can also use the PvP Looms weapon or BoA Shield

he is hit capped already without the shield enchant.

But it increase healing aswell and more effective than intel enchant ? Also what are you talking about it's not the guy who got the best gear / enchant who's the better in game. Are you trolling or what ? We are talking about gear optimisation, we didn't come to gameplay.

It is a known fact that healing has more benefits from intellect than from PvP power. He/she asked for opinions, I shared my opinions and why.

1. Double Windsong proc
2. Switch into Black Magic
3. Cast cast Lifeblood
4. Salivate
 
On my 24 twink Ele I always like carrying the off hand with int and swapping it out with my shield, depending on the situation I'm in and it doesn't matter in combat or not you can switch to the shield, or the off-hand. Also I would recommend the Int. Trink or AGM , how useful can that other Trink be? Other then that I would gear exactly the same. But I would have 14 Stam on shield and I also have Cooking on my Sham and can make fire witch gives your Spirit buff, and if you do what Honeybadger says you can get +10 Spirit from Well Fed and Fire Buff. - Just a tip
PS. -The cooking fire spirit buff is useable in arena's too.
