Just finished my 1st naxx 10 run, yay go me - lil bit behind the drag curve but eh' what can you do.
This dropped

(T7 head token)
Now i naturally rolled on it thinking it would be a nice upgrade to grab hold of, and was lucky enough to win. I'm ret btw so looking to turn it into this;

. the problem is, the T7 ret helm appears to be worse than

to me as a PvE dps piece... Can someone tell me if there's something i'm missing here?
I'm going to keep it to grab the set bonus of + 10% to DS, but other than that it looks pretty useless in comparison to titansteel. - should i do this or just ignore the set bonus and bank it for when i can wear 4 pieces?
P.S. i do remember a post about this some time ago, but i couldn't find it...

Titansteel is better for you unless the T7 helm gives you the 4p bonus.

spiked is better unless, t7 will give you 2p or 4p bonus

Hokay so is it worth not even getting at all and getting the prot/holy varient instead (prot one seems to be a trash tanking set with low stam and high BV (comarped to titansteel one)
And another thng i'm confused as to which is better out of

Well i thought that the T7 would be way better than a crafter piece, the thought that it would be worse than something i've had for absolutely yonks didnt even cross my mind. And as far as the set bonus goes its an upgrade anyway.. so no real harm done

Take the ret token.
One day you may be struggling to get the last of 4/5 and you wish you didnt take an offspec item.
And yes, min max damage makes up to a certain point.
Alot of abilities also scale with AP/SP only, like exorcism, consecration, judgements (for a good part).
Polearms usually dont have paladin friendly stats, maces usually do.
If you cant see yourself dropping anything better then level 200 weapons anytime soon, titansteel destroyer is still a decent choice. STR is great, speed is meh, but the hit rating will help you alot in the first stages of gearing. I hate it, had it for like forever, every noob can go on AH and buy one, but its useful. When i seen the jawbone drop almost fell of the chair. Now i got a Stormedge, im not yet sure it was an upgrade.
Back on topic, haste gets decent once you have outrageous amounts of ap.
Atm white damage is our second higher source of damage.

Get either prot or holy one, whichever you like the most. Not only the helm is the weakest t7 piece (and well below the titansteel one), but with the new priority system that came with 3.1 (cs overtakes judge in priority) the t7-4 bonus is near worthless.
You are a paladin, getting offspec gear is a must. Even if you don't use it. Just have to have it for that one time when you might kind of need it. Like me. Last time I tanked was in Zul'Aman, healed... well, I don't remember last time I healed, but there is a full lvl80 purple set for both holy and prot in my bank :)

Yea cause buffing ~10-15% of your damage by 15% is just shiait.... aight?

Crusader strike goes first now. Following the proper priority system, effective cooldown of Judgement hovers around 8,0something seconds. The only real gain you get out of t7-4 with proper rotation is that the pretty icon sits there without being overshadowned by cooldown countdown for a bit longer.
I know, it used to be the bestestest thing ever, but times change :)
