Airman's Ribbon of Gallantry - Item - World of Warcraft vs Xi'ri's Gift - Item - World of Warcraft

The airman has 34 crit and passively adds 80 damage for 30 sec when it procs. Can't proc more than once every 10 sec so there is 20 seconds for a timer refresh.

Xiri's add's 32 crit and increases damage by 150 for 10 sec with a 1 1/2 min cooldown.

Why is Xi'ri's considered better?
Because the proc part from the Ribbon is useless in most boss fights, unless it's one with a lot of adds that give experience or honor (most boss adds don't). With xi'ri's gift you can use it during a boss fight and you can also control when you use it (if you're getting too high on aggro and shatter is on CD, the extra damage is not too helpful).
