Ok, title says it all. You can check out my profile, I'm finding myself coming up on enough emblems to get some new gear.
I can't decide whether it would be more beneficial to get the
Valorous Plagueheart Gloves for the added crit damage from the set bonus, or the
Conqueror's Deathbringer Robe for the added immolate damage.
Between the two pieces, I'd like to get the robe more, but then completing the set bonus for the valorous in order to get the added crit damage seems like a good option.
I know my trinkets and wand are all in desperate need of an upgrade, but it looks like my best options there are from the triumph emblem vendor.
Can anyone give me any advice on which piece would benefit my current build the most? I usually run heroics (trying to get into raids) on a 3/13/55 destro build. I quest and solo with a deep affliction build.
edit: I know I'm a bit on the high side of the hit cap at the moment, I'm planning on replacing one of my hit rating gems with a +20 haste gem, just haven't gotten a good deal from a JC yet.

First off, swap those blue gems for
Purified Twilight Opals, and those yellow gems for
Runed Scarlet Rubies or, if you must match the sockets,
Reckless Monarch Topaz (obviously use epic versions if you can). Gems do not need to match their sockets, and in fact shouldn't unless the bonus is worth 5 sp or greater. Secondary color gems match both primary colors, so there is no excuse save ignorance for not using +sp gems (and that's barely an excuse anyhow).
Second, I would personally say go with the robe, because not only do you get a 10% boost to immo's base dmg, but also a great deal more sp than the gloves, when properly gemmed (robe gives 47sp, while gloves only give 11sp).

will the multi-color gems count towards my meta or do I have to keep enough blues in place to keep my
Chaotic Skyflare Diamond active? I have to admit ignorance on this one, I never knew that I could place a red gem in a yellow socket or vice-versa.

Cool, thanks for the tips all. I think I'm gonna go with the robe, regem all my slots with SP gems, and two blue slots with
Purified Dreadstones to keep my meta active. I'll just have to save up for the gloves next week.
