Ret: Re-itemize with these stats?

I'm pondering re-itemizing with some side-grades to shed hit and expertise. The main question is whether losing 42 AP, "excess" hit rating, a little haste and being 1 point below expertise is worth gaining 82 ArP and 2.7% crit. If I were a Rogue or a DK I would say yes, definitely. But as a paladin I'm not sure losing the excess hit rating (which is going to still help spell attacks) is as worthwhile.
The stat changes:
What I have now:
Attack Power: 4626
Hit Rating: 339
Expertise: 30
Crit: 36.01%
Haste: 305
Armor Pen:
What I would end up with:
Attack Power: 4584 (-42 in part due to Expertise gem, see below)
Hit Rating: 265 (-74 but right still over the melee soft hit cap)
Expertise: 25 (1 below soft cap, using JC gem ... 21 without gem)
Crit: 38.75% (+2.74%)
Haste: 289 (-16)
Armor Pen: +(82)
Notes on the gear in question:
I'm using 4-piece T9 (3 245 pieces, 1 232) + Chestplate of the Frostwolf Hero. I picked up 245 Legplates of Ascension last night. Swapping it in would replace my 232 T9 pants. Then I can buy a 245 T9 chest to keep my 4pc.
My other option would be to just spend the trophy on either offspec or on 245 T9 pants to get a little more from those for now. With ICC gear coming it isn't really a big deal, but it gives me a chance to learn about prioritizing Hit and Expertise once the soft caps are met.

Rawr calced it as around a 100DPS upgrade, but Rawr isn't 100% on target with some of these things.

. I wouldn't gem for anyhing but STR after the prismatic, unless you have 2pc t9 (which everybody should by now lol...for all 3 specs...lol)
Right, but if I don't gem the 1 Expertise gem then I will be down to 21 Expertise. 1 off the cap I can live with, but 5 is a bit too much.
