If not, there are links to my Hit and Expertise post that you should, and need to, read. Hit has worth past the melee cap. Notice in the Hit/Exp cap section, not the Melee Hit, the result is different. Do you understand the difference between Melee Hit Cap and Spell Hit Cap?

In that case it becomes 75str/61 crit rating, vs. 75str/43 crit rating for crude discolored, when hit/exp capped they are not better under any circumstances.

Since KM is changing to PPM (although no cd on HB), most will probably not go the frost dps route thinking its nerfed to no other degree - which leads to frost itemization possibly being ignored (by most). But we'll see what the numbers look like once the patch releases. I was just referring to the mass believing that frost dps spec is being severely nerfed (although it’s not as you mentioned).

Outside of KM and HB most of the Frost mechanics are staying the same, and the changes that are going in are not so drastic to severely alter APE weights. All weights will be fine for 3.0.8 release. Over time, as things change, I will update these posts when needed. Why would the Frost itemization be ignored?

I was shocked to find Horn-Tipped Gauntlets (a tanking item in my eyes, who is a DK tank) rating so high amongst blood DPS gear but I can see why. I guess I gotta farm more KT rep to use for my tank/blood dps gear. Also guessing the frost dps itemization segment can be totally ignored(?) when patch releases? -Clax SJ, thanks for another great article on itemization for DKs.
