Wouldn't eye patch + BoA shield be better than LFH + stockades shield? Or is hit easier capped by doing this?
LFH and Stocks shield award more total stamina and armor. Whereas the eyepatch has no significant increase to usefulness, other than opening up slots but you know, who wants to be a cyclopse anyways?
no need for patch since the spirit from his items = hitcap
Is there any real reason why so many use Preened Ironfeather Shoulders over Mystical Pauldrons of Elements.
Is it just a trasmog thing?

Would be logical, but then again, BLIZZARD LOGIC.
Playing WoW is like a box of chocolates, you never know what fucked up shit might happen.
Okay so Ill walk through why for what slot, even if im just supplementing others:
The first decision for the ally shaman is gloves/feet. Whether to use wc/sfk leather or cloth gear with more int. Obviously it comes down to how much hit you need, but armor is also a consideration.
I like my set because it has the exact amount of spirit required to cap, without sacrificing too much int or crit or stam.
On noble robe v. pve mail: Again i dont think the sacrifice of stam, int, armor is worth it for ally, it certainly may be for a hordie who can reach higher crit rating.
Both factions have a lot of choice for rings. I use the default int/stam rings that most people do, but good alternatives are: dpr, lorekeeper, wc ring, stendels, dm ring.
edit: On head: lfh is good style and stock shield is more armor, but for a headmasters charge ele yes eye patch would be better. You gain agi and more room for int and crit, where hit cap is automatic. Ill say that if i made my shaman when boa shields were available, i would have taken eye patch. But again, preference, and don't forget style.
edit: On bracer: Obviously mtb if you can lucks, rfc bracer is fine because it has some spirit, but I would find 3 spirit elsewhere. Owl bracer chanted plus 1 spirit would be what i used without mtb. Again, sfk bracer for straight crit.
Making a full crit ally sham is viable, if your heart is set on it, but its a lot of work. namely: pve staff over mace/shield, pve shoulder, eyepatch, dpr, stendels, 2x int trink. With some variations to the current accepted bis, ie: crit/agi bracer/feet.
My advice when gearing is to try to hit thresholds or min/max values for stats that aren't considered primary, but are necessary: hit rating, stamina, spirit, armor even.
Everyone will have different quest rewards or different world drops, but as long as you meet some minimum values, your toon should perform just fine, after that the theory crafting is only secondary to your skill set.

So went through all your suggestions a couple times and decided I will not go for max crit on slots where I'd have to sacrifice a stupid amount of intellect for a couple crit. I also did not put items like Mindthrust / DPR on my armory since I heard DPR on TN is next to impossible as F2P, and I probably can't bother trying to farm for MT considering I have never seen it drop in easily over 100 SFKs I've done.
chardev 10 - Mist of Pandaria - BETA
Let me go through a couple gear choices:
Gloves - Dropped a lot of int for crit, but the spirit will help me hitcap.
Boots - Simple choice of corpse rompers over cobrahns because I chose the serpentis gloves from Q
Ring2 - drop 6 int for 6crit, a reasonable tradeoff imo.
Bracers - Crystalline instead of black wolf because I need the hit from spirit. Minor spirit enchant would let me drop these for Black wolf, but again, won't be farming a world drop recipe with such a low droprate
What do you guys think? Would you change anything?
