Don't you need 4%, and since you are alliance, 6% against blood elves?

Hmmm.... melee is 5%, spell is 3%. At least according to old notes, but I see that: Spell Hit - Elitist Jerks What's the Hit cap Mr. Wolf? - The Warlocks Den - WoW Warlock Discussions Spell hit - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft Both of those indicate that 80v80 is 4% for spells (105 rating). And against blood elves, you're right, I need 2% more due to their innate magical resistance. Which would be 158 rating.

IMO the new epic Spell Power/Spell Pen gems are great Mysterious Dreadstone - Item - World of Warcraft You can use the gems to get your Spell Pen, rather than going straight spell power in blue sockets. You pick up the extra spell power from the sockets too. Maybe I'm just a fan of hybrid gems, but +12sp/+13pen (and socket bonuses) > 23sp gems in blue slots. This allows me to use Lightweave on my cloak, which I find very nice as affliction because I'm constantly switching targets, so if dots go up when Lightweave is procced they keep ticking that hard even after the proc has ended. Affliction you need 100-130 Destro you use CoE so its more like 75. DONT UNDERVALUE SPELL PEN! +hits important for all specs. Spend talent points on Suprresion if you don't want to gear for hit. __________________ "That is not dead which can eternal lie / And with strange aeons even death may die."- H.P.

Optimally, CoE would be up on every target. It almost never works like that though. Considering that your pet now gets hit and pen, you may as well cap it. If your enemy healer can dispel it, then you will probably be eating resisted spell locks every once in a while. Its really easy to max with the new gems, and I don't think you need to OH anymore for those that couldn't buy it.
