4set t8 questions...

I just got the 4set t8 bonus and I'm in the process of swapping all my ap gems for agility. I have a few questions I hope I can get answers for:
Is my spec the proper one? I looked around quite a bit but couldn't find anything about t8 4set anymore.
Would the agility hand enchants be better or would crusher still be superior? Also on enchanting is icewalker better than the agility enchant for feet.
Assuming the rotation is the same, priority is still keeping SnD up over Rupture right?
I am also wondering if ArP is still just as good for this spec too and maintains its worth.
Remember these are all question for the 4set t8.
Link is in sig but I will post here too:

Yes I know I have too much expertise and hit.

I'm asking questions about t8 4set not general questions. It is my understanding that agility > ap with this set. Not to mention the spec is also a spec used to increase rupture, I had the standard but rewrote it to do more damage with my now rupture crits.'
As per the ArP I was mentioning it in terms of swapping out items that have ArP for ones with more crit/agility to further increase my rupture crits.
Basically right now I am trying to see how high I can get my dps while still using the t8 4set and my hopeful goal is to out dps people in better gear.

Yes for 4piece t8 you will want to gem agil but i would not worry about redoing enchants for it. You will want to gem agil because of the crit chance for your rupture, as I'm sure you already know. Don't worry about Arp but make sure you are still at hit and Exp caps

Figured I wouldn't open a new thread for this, since dashihawk mentioned rupture crit, I was wondering if there was a soft cap or a certain percentage of crit chance (having 4/5 T8.5) where focusing or preferring AP to Crit past that said point would give off more DPS.
Of course I would have to test with my gear and my spreadsheet but I'm wondering whether there is such a cap, I say there isn't since you can never have enough crit but then again I might be wrong

This has started to become an issue only recently. The "soft cap" to use another's term for crit is between 55% and 65% depending on your spec/build But yes, in Short, There is one.
Okay thanks for the reply Iteken, right now my Rogue hovers at around 40% so I'm far from the soft cap :)

Okay so for spec the typical cookie cutter still out dpses the serrated blade spec for t8 4set? I would think 30% more damage that can crit would be superior, especially seeing how my dps jumped over 300 from just swapping specs.

Don't worry about Arp but make sure you are still at hit and Exp capsUgh. He's combat...therefore does not need to ever worry about expertise. Hit, while important, takes a back seat also in most cases. Depending on your raid composition (Draenei in party, Spriest or Moonkin in raid), your hit "cap" varies. Keep it above 237 and you'll be fine.
You just make me all giddy inside. Caps while not as important in combat are still recomended to attain if they are not that much of a hassle. If you have to drop one Agi gem to pick up and expertise gem and will be capped because of it I would strongly recomend doing so.

What? Combat has Surprise Attacks, so the only yellow attack which can be dodged is Sinister Strike. And if that gets dodged, how is it going to put your rotation at risk?

And I'd strongly recommend you stop giving bad advice.
Spreadsheets list EP for a reason, and unless your Exp EP is higher than your Agi or ArP EP (which is unlikely), you shouldn't gem it. It's an extremely simple concept and it amazes me that you've somehow managed to not understand it.

Question. How many people looked at my link?
372hit and 38 expertise....Even for mut thats quite a significant amount.
Also, a more than one word answer on the spec I should use would be appreciated. My understanding was to respec once you got t8 4set, ofcourse this was around the time ulduar came out so I am curious if it was proved wrong or was someone just being dumb.

You ahve too much expertise by miles. 26 is the cap. don't go over it. (ok. 25.15 is the cap - but you can't hit that).
The respec idea was Wrong. It's been proved wrong many times. Someone along the line screwed up. The massive boost in DPS the 4pc t8 gives you skews the results making it hard to see, but if you do the maths, it's true. 51/13/7 is the way forward.
Combat... so 15/51/5?
Also, all expertise is from gear. Can't really drop.
