Hi guys, good stuff in here, made for an interesting read!
Thought I'd throw my hat in the ring for some DH stuff.
He's not perfect but I'm pretty happy with how things are. Some lucky Antorus drops would upgrade a few items but that's something I'm not prepared to spend my time doing ^^ Also I could use 300 longstrider pieces, but also, not something I'm willing to do yet as I've farmed all the speedrun-worthy mounts I can. Could also definitely use levelling my neck up and I guess a longstrider helm.

He's currently at 175.9% passive. Fluctuates from ~201% indoors or in combat, ~277% Out of combat/outdoors, then sprint/Tartare/weapon proc/ring proc bonuses on top of that.
I used to use the
Figurine - Ruby Hare trinket with 2x 40 Mastery gems in it, until they nerfed BFA gems to require 200 ilvl, and also the 30% movement speed didn't stack with the 25% from my boots so was almost entirely useless.
Claw of the Watcher in each hand was another favourite, pre-gem nerf, along with 2 or 3 slot leather gear from MoP/WoD raids ^^
New Bits (since 8.2 I believe):
-Epic gems with 50 stat, up from +40, usable in gear ilvl 200+
-Enchant Ring - Accord of <stat> giving +60 up from +40. (When buying the enchants at 111, the tooltip reads +22 stat, but its +60 when equipped)
-5% movement speed gem - (DOES stack with 3% from previous) These gems used to be useless but seem to have started working correctly with 8.2
The best stat stacking blue crafted rings have 113 stat on them (with a 50 stat eligible socket), which is possible to get in BOTH ring slots
I'm curious to hear you guys thoughts on cloaks. I feel for me the best cloak slot is the one my DH has equipped, it's relatively easy to take tailoring on a toon with no proffs and churn these things out with next to no levelling tailoring required untill you get the desired procc (epic + your stat of choice), and then the 2% movement speed enchant. I suspect a high ilvl Antorus cloak with your stat+socket+speed would be better, but realistically....nah ^^
I think my best belt option (aside from a mad luck Antorus with +speed) would be farming the 1st boss of Temple of Sethraliss until I get the 36 mastery belt to procc with a socket, but again, it's all huge time sinks for minimal gains by this point.
Looking forward to chatting with some more speedfreaks!
