Brilliant Necklace (-1 stamina but +2 intel) or Thick Bronze Necklace (+1 stamina) may be better for neck if you're planning to stick to restoration for your shaman, as 6 agility only improves your crit chance with melee attacks by a percentage less than 1%, and does nothing with regards to spell crit chance, which is only improved by intelligence.
Also, for belt some may prefer Ghamoo-Ra's Bind if one believes that 2 stamina is worth 1 intelligence and 22 armor, but both options are equally debatable.
And for shield, Forest Buckler for shield (if you can find it drop somewhere) is also an alternative if you're looking for more stamina, if you can find this shield.
=======================================================================
As for the Lucky Fishing Hat+Stockades Shield vs Eyepatch+Forest Buckler comparison, here's a comparison if one is comfortable with just Drakewing Bands (obtainable from chest farming like Magician's Mantle) for hit rating (2.7%, 3.7% if Draenei), and another if one wants to be hit-capped, or near hit-capped if not Draenei, with Lavishly Jeweled Ring in place of Gloaming Band (unless there's other sources of hit rating that give a more modest tradeoff).
The sets with the eyepatch in the above comparisons (which includes Forest Buckler) have a little more intelligence just from crystalline cuffs (about only 3 intel), but at the cost of 4 (with hit+intel ring) or even 8 (without ring comparison) stamina and 262 armor compared to the LFH+Stockades set. Including Seedcloud instead of Forest Buckler widens the stamina vs intelligence gap by 2 stamina vs 1 intelligence, and lowers the armor difference from 262 armor to 245 armor.

Mathematical point of view eh? Assuming your stats are correct...12k isn't one third of 31k, 12k is one third of 36k. So you would actually have to multiply your number by 2.5833333 instead of 3. It comes out to 18,083. 20,000>18,000.

I lol'd so hard. The amount of healing done over the span of your character's life has nothing to do with their setup. You run without a trinket, with magicians mantle pn a shaman, and no armor kits either. Not to mention your complete lack of hit rating, it's a terrible setup from a terrible player.

You're going to have to explain to me how you managed to let a 24 ret get in melee range

actual advice for the future would be (im assuming this was a group fighting in mid or near a base or something) once you put your earthbind down to begin with, kite around in the area until its off cooldown. its easy enough to stay around your earthbind and still keep people up/within range.

That ain't easy. Strafing is only good against other Hunters, you know.

if you want survivability, Spetsnáz, then don't use Devout Aurastone Hammer over The Blessed Hammer of Grace

well i wasnt able to reply yesterday I realize this is a bit off topic but....
.I know how to kite dps around the totem.
But the Ret was using Free action potions. She got a full charge off my teammates got on a horse and of all the people fighting out there she rode for ME(what did i do i ask ) and the point is if i were using any difrerent setup i would have got instagibbed.
I was thinking on making a 24 ret too...based on my calculations with buffs+berzerking 24 BiS rets can hit over 2k
with free action potions....its an overkill
