n00b question here, but could someone explain to me what this chart
AP - 1
Crit Rating - 1.7
Hit Rating - 3.1
Expertise Rating - 2.6
Haste Rating - 1.3
Armor Penetration Rating - 0.8
Spellpower - 0.9
MH dps - 5.9
OH dps - 2.5
Strength - 1.1
Agility - 1.7
Intellect - 1.7
is telling me?
Basically The higher the numbers the more they are worth. So lets say you look at this chart trying to find out if you should gem agility or attack power. Judging by this chart agility has a higher value than attack power because the number is higher.
Wrong Its telling you that gemming Ap is better than Agility
AP gem is 32ap so 32 x 1 = 32
Agil gem is 16 agil so 16 x 1.7 = 27.2

Those EP values are the result of running a simulator on a gear set. They are not static, and will vary as your gear improves/changes. As an obvious example, if you are completely (dualwield) hit capped, adding 1 more hit rating would be worth nothing, since you already never miss. The value of hit rating plummets after you pass spell hit cap.
So they run the simulator (with or without group buffs) to get a base DPS value. Then they run the sim with +1AP, and record a dps increase of X. Then they reset the simulator and run it with +1agility, and get a dps increase of Y. Reset and run with +1spellpower to get a dps increase of Z.
You don't really care what X, Y, and Z are, but you do care which is bigger. So they normalize everything to AP by dividing all the dps increasers by X.
AP = X/X (1)
Agi = Y/X
Spellpower = Z/X
TLDR: the EP numbers are calculated, not made up by some guy saying 'well agility _feels_ like it's a 1.5'. The only way to get YOUR ep numbers is to run a sim on your gear.
Agility does NOT give you Spell Power. AP does.
Soo....AP = 1 AP and 1 SP = 2 Which is more then Agility at 1.7
I'm not sure what you're trying to ask, but Agility does give you spellpower, transitively. You can't add the numbers from the EP chart. Agility gives you attack power, melee crit, dodge, armor. And you will gain spellpower from the attackpower that you gain through agility.
The math you're probably looking for is that a 32 AP gem is 'worth' 32 via the chart, while a 16 agi gem is worth 27.2. The reason for the chart is because many of the stats are very intertwined and a single stat can increase many differing attributes. So the chart is there to tell you what happens to your dps when you increase a single stat by 1. The value next to Agility factors in the increase crit, spellpower and attackpower.
