Re: On the right track or....

Tough call

Spellstrike
16 Spell Hit
24 Spell crit
46 Spell damage, 3 sockets = 27 spell damage for a total of 73 spell damage

Voidheart
31 Spell Crit (with meta gem)
40 Spell damage, 1+9 damage gem = 49 damage

Basically, is 24 spell damage greater than 7 spell crit and 3% crit damage. At your gear level, you are seeing SB crits of 5000ish? 3% is 150, but that only happens on crits, which is only 24% of your SBs. 24% of 150 is 36 per SB. Tough call indeed. Probably fairly equal in the end.

The reason CPimp's guide rates Spellstrike so high is he gives a high value to spell hit. The MaxDPS site asks you for your spell hit, and if you put in 202, they don't give spell hit any value at all. Since you are capped already, it gives zero weight to the 16 spell hit on the Spellstrike.

All that being said, you are in great shape, have made all the right gem choices. Only gripe would be the stam enchant on the bracers. Dude, you are an enchanter, fix that!!
