I may have a better contender! I had armory'd my bud Kaozs after Monday's battlegrounds.
Basically if you take the gear I listed in the previous post, switch Eye of Flame with Soothsayer's Headdress, Underworld Band with Gem Studded Band, and Blessed Hammer of Grace with Devout Aurastone Hammer, you end up with these stat differences.
+1 stam, +7 intellect (105 MP), +1mp5 (from unrelenting storm), -2 spell power, -16 spirit.
Aint sure to be honest which is better, but it seemed worthy of mention. I hate that I'd end up going below 350 spell damage (its at 349), but 1 stam and 105 mana +1 mp5 isn't a bad trade-off. The 16 spirit equates out to 7 mp5 while not casting. If you take off the bonus 1 mp5 you get from new gear (that's always going to be there), you'll end up with 6 mp5 while not casting. It'd take 87.5 seconds of out-of-combat for 6 mp5 to equal 105 mana. Definitely a considerable option over my "best build." I seem to have an attachment for 350 spell damage and beyond though.
still aint sure tbh.
(Just a little tidbit as well, Unrelenting Storm grants 1mp5 for every 8.333 intellect you have. So if you get the talent 3/3 (and you should!), Devout Aurastone Hammer has the same mp5 as Blessed Hammer of Grace. So it becomes, basically, the question of 2 stamina vs. 9 intellect.)
