Yes, those gloves would be better than the T9.232 gloves, assuming you aren't breaking a set bonus.
Here is my mental process if I were to try and compare these two items:
91 agility is 1.46% crit before kings and 1.60% crit with kings, or about 73 crit rating worth.
Ignoring both item's sockets for a moment, the Tier is 94 Strength, 52 hit, and 60 crit. The 251 gloves are 62 Strength worth of Attack Power, 55 hit, 73 crit, and 49 ArP. From the vast number of threads on the subject, we know that Strength is more or less equal to ArP in value. So I would add the ArP to the Strength and say the second item has 111 ]ninja edit!] "Strength/ArP", 55 hit, 73 crit, compared to 94 "Strength/ArP", 52 hit, and 60 crit.
So, not even counting the sockets, the 251 looks better than the tier.
However, now that your armory has updated, I see you have four piece T9. You are arms though, so you get 5% crit to Slam, which is maybe a 8-10% contribution to your DPS. 5% crit to a 10% damage contribution is only an overall 0.5% DPS gain. And like I tell so many people; You'll have to break that set bonus sometime.
I'd go ahead and use the mail gloves. They are an upgrade.

From the vast number of threads on the subject, we know that Strength is more or less equal to ArP in value. So I would add the ArP to the Strength and say the second item has 101 "Strength/ArP", 55 hit, 73 crit, compared to 94 "Strength/ArP", 52 hit, and 60 crit.
my maths say 62+49=111 :)
also, since the mail gloves have 2 red sockets, you should automatically include the 6 extra hit in the calculations. throw the actual sockets in there, and you end up with:
151 str/arp vs 104 str/arp
61 hit vs. 52 hit
73 crit vs. 70 crit
the mail gloves are a direct upgrade in every stat, and significantly so in the most important category. and they will make you smarter too!
