Merlin's with out a doubt.
Royal moonshroud = FFB offspec maybe if u have FFB as offspec.
But expansive to make for offspec.

Like Pens1566 said, this is not true.

E: On a standard Arcane raiding build, this order is also supported by Rawr.

twsX saves OP from my horrible advice again. I fully support the above comment.

For me the difference between these two (
Merlin's Robe
> Non-heroic
Flowing Robes of Ascent
) is so small I couldn't justify the cost.
Seconded.
Merlin is easier to get. No need to raid, no drop rng, and no spending dkp/gp. Its almost a guaranteed item if you have any kind of $$$.

Ebonweave @115g ea x 8 = 920g
Spellweave @ 150g ea x 8 = 1,200g
Crusader Orb @ 670ea x 8 = 5,360g
Dream Shard @ 25gea x 8 = 200g
Total Gold = 7,710g
These are my server prices that I just checked on wed and I verified with Wowecon although the crusader orb price was more a trade channel price as the AH price is around 75-100g more each.
For me I just kept my gold and my T8.5 chest until I got a drop. It wasn't that great of a boost in performance. I can't justify to myself to spend 8,000g on something that isn't BiS.
Seconded.
XD
If you are a raiding mage, the mats on that list should be readily available. Mages should already be tailors for the lightweave bonus and making the cloth every time their CD is up. So the cloth isn't a problem. And you should have plenty of triumph emblems to get the orbs. I'm sitting at ~200 after buying the ring, trinket, 245 tier shoulders, 245 tier gloves, 245 tier helm, 232 tier pants, orbs for merlin, and orbs for wizard bracers. I won't even address the shards ...
So you can wait for a drop that you might get, and that you might win (at the cost of dkp/gp), or spend maybe a little money to get the better item.
And 8.5 chest to Merlin is a huge jump, especially for Arcane.

Yeah, it's a question of opportunity cost.
I was checking out profs on the top arena mages again today, and I noticed the 5th best mage in the world is wearing just Furious pants. I'm guessing this is a new toon the player switched to in order to maximize his and his team's success in arenas, and he's bought the Relentless Weapon with arena points because there's the possibility of Relentless pants & gloves dropping in VoA 25.
I've always interpreted these uber-costly gears to be items for guys who aren't good enough to get better in legitimate raids or arenas. And that's pretty pathetic considering how easy ToC is.
