my spreadsheet programs are broken, and i am running a mac, so i'm gonna go ahead and take a chance and run the question by you all.
basically,
sinners bindings
or
thrusting band
?
the issue i am having is with gemming.
With thrusting bands, I can basically remove 3 expertise gems (2 red and 1 blue) giving me room to add 2 agility and 1 blue ap gem.
Sinner's gives me better overall stats with room for 1 extra red agility gem.
The hit on thrusting vs. the haste on sinners basically cancel each other out.
Stat gains for AP are generally better with the setup using thrusting bands while the crit is significantly better on sinners (almost .6% crit difference).
Anyone got any advice on how I can choose, while my spreadsheet is broke as ^&*!

I suggest you fix your spreadsheet? Or just download a new one? It is very hard to tell the difference really.

You just have to weigh up the stats you get by socketing 1 red gem and a blue gem
against the stats you get from choosing sinner's over thrusting.
Compare
the two, ignore the socket from Sinner's.
I would say take the Thrusting Bands, though, it will make switching other gear pieces easier without having to worry about loosing too much expertise.
why am i ignoring sinner's socket?

spreadsheet is not broken, actually program doesn't load all the time, and when it does, it is throwing error messages at me.

The bindings are nearly equivilant, EJs rank both basically equal as BiS when naxx was top dogg. It basically comes down to minor differences, like 3-7dps tbh, associated with expertise caps and such. Also, if you are not in T8 gear you should be gemming/enchanting for AP not Agi, until you get those ruptures critting Agi does not outpreform AP.

I am gemming agility cause I use some of my gear in PVP. Min-Maxxing my gear is not really... my top priority, so gemming agility gets me where I need to be, and makes me a little more flexible for PVP. That's my story and I'm stickin to it :).

i thnk it doesnt matter if u keep hit and expertise ratings capped with both bracers. just try to equip higher lvl epics but these are at same item level so doesnt matter in my opinion.
this I KNOW is wrong.

If you're not min-maxing then why do you care? The difference between the two is so slight that it will rarely show on a dps meter.
This. Now I see why noone posted "spreadsheet" yet.

that is um.... for looking cool while fishing only :)
very important.
as for why it's important when I am not trying to min-max. I do want to pull as much dps as I can, but I PVP very casually, and like to have that option open to me. This is a new development, so I am sure with time my gear will diverge.

Just keep both... Once you get better gear and are hit/exp capped through other gear then use the sinner otherwise use the thrusting til then.

i dont say 32 ap giving you 24 stamina, i say 32 ap and 24 stamina are equal values in world of warcraft. This is false, false and false.
