Using the above stat Weights, Skyweave + 4 gives 1877 dps, which is still less than Hood of Smoldering Aftermath if you count in the hit. If you ignore the hit, Merlin's Robe tops Skyweave.

Taking the fact that its going to either be MR+4 or HSA+4, I'll do some comparisons filling in the rest of the gear and see which ends up higher.


------------------

Ok, finishing out the Hood of Smoldering Aftermath +4 Set I used:
Cry of the Val'kyr
Drape of Refreshing Winds
Bejeweled Wizards Bracers
Belt of Tenebrous Mist
Boots of Icy Flow
Band of the Invoker
Polished Dragonslayer's Signet
Reign of the Dead
Flare of the Heavens
Barb of Tarasque
Talisman of Heedless Sins

Which yielded:
Spellpower = 2362
Hit = Capped (369)
Haste = 548
Crit = 572
Spirit = 394

DPS ~4495


finishing out the Merlin's Robe +4 Set I used:
Cry of the Val'kyr
Shroud of Displacement
Bejeweled Wizards Bracers
Belt of Biting Cold
Boots of Icy Floe
Band of the Invoker
Firestorm Band
Reign of the Dead
Flare of the Heavens
Barb of Tarasque
Talisman of Heedless Sins

Which yielded:
Spellpower = 2356
Haste = 507
Hit = ~capped (364)
Crit = 775
Spirit = 233

DPS ~4488

So, both options are going to be ~ the same depending on what gear you have available.

Whew... no need to disenchant my Merlin's. Thanks for all the work you put into this deth, first time I've seen BiS work done on any pre-heroic gear. Useful for guys like me who aren't likely to do ToGC25. (though hopefully I'll be picking up some ToGC 10 gear soon...)

Re: Can't decided what to upgrade next

What if you don't have any hit gems in the first place?

See, i replaced abyssal rune with Shard of the Crystal Heart simply because i dropped suppression when i re-specced demonology. Because it has put me a little over the cap, i can drop some hit from my gear if i get non hit upgrades
