Hi, first of,
change your glyphs, OB is wrong for you since you are blood you should use the death strike glyph as a major.
And fill up the 2 empty minor slots with HoW and maybe BT.
And for the Expertise part, i use it on my dk, im atleast softcapped after the hitcap after that i go for Arp or crit..

My suggestions.....
Ignore most gem slot bonuses. Only get them if it's worth it to your dps.....+hit, +str, etc.
And grab a +10 tear to throw in a difficult spot.
You are better off putting a +hit gem in the pants, than the +crit. Especially since you aren't capped. After that, just gem strength.
Icewalker on the boots, +hit on the hands would go a long way.

When gemming it's far better to go Str > Exp. until you reach ~6k+ AP. This is due to the fact that at that point AP/Str doesn't scale as well as previously reaching that cap.
I would like some evidence to this 6k number. Care to share?

And a related question from me: When you say 6k+ attack power are you talking unbuffed or raid buffed?
If I'm guessing right Lynri is talking about a number which was calculated at EJ, however that number was never really accurate and is no where near accurate now.
However that 6.2k number on EJ was raid buffed, so i assume this 6k is aswell

Also I was told that my Draenei racial heroic presence (adds +1% hit) and this is added on top of my toons hit rating, so I'm only at 7.23% but then you add the 1% on top of that it gets me over the 8% cap. If this is incorrect please let me know asap!
Also looking ahead I am going to run into a problem when I replace my bracers as I will lose more hit rating there... always something to fix = /
Thanks for all the advice
Correct, if you have a Draeni in your party you only need 7% tooltip hit, so you could drop some hit (you need 231 hit to be capped).
Note is okay to be a little over or under the hit cap, but for best results you may have to re-gem after every upgrade.

Ignore the gem slot bonus because it is stamina, that does not contribute to your dps and gem with +20 strength
Problem is there are no blue gems that add strength or hit? From what I can see stamina was the best thing to throw in there (better then nothing right? a little bit of stamina can't hurt?)
I will take a look at the purple gems to see if I can't find something that is more usefull i.e. attack power or armor pen
any suggestions?
Purple: STR/STA - Sovereign dreadstone if i remember right
