So I evenually got round to testing T9 4 Set bonus vs T10 2 set bonus (kept forgetting every week) for as you of course you will drop T9 4set if you want to start using T10

We actually wiped on Twins 25 hc so I had a chance to change gear and do it again. Stats was taken from about 3 mill healing done per fight @ between 11 & 12k hps
Choose this fight as it is pretty op for a druid and have allot of rejuv & wg usage.

From stats

Normal Rejuv (with T10):

Avg: +- 2700
Max: +- 3700

4 Set T9 Rejuv:

Avg: +- 3200
Max: +- 4950

77 % T9 healing was normal rejuv
23% being actual 4 set crits

What this gets me 2 over a 3 mill healing fight is, when you use T10 and average out the rejuv tick's healing you will endup with +- 2700 per tick
When you average out the T9 healing (normal+crits 2gether) you will get +-2800 per tick

Looking then @ the T10 2 set bonus

WG heales for about +-932 per tick with T9 (ie no help) and +- 945 with T10, - This is averaged out thou (ie if it ticked the same each tick and did not get less with each tick)

Total healing Rejuv healing with T9 was +- 2% more than with T10 & WG was about 1% higher with T10 than T9 - Now of course I could just have used the one more/better than the other etc etc.

During T9 days we still had a low haste rating, so you wanted that and then could look @ crit a bit.
With T10 crit means nothing so one aim for a haste build so you can get to that high haste soft cap.

In general I seem to think that healing with T9 4set and T10 2set there is not much of a difference for me atm. I still only have about 100haste more in my T10 set that my T9 set (due to a helm I also add) so either the haste or the general item stats make things +- the same. (thou I do feel a bit more happy with T10 and my extra haste)

The more items you get in ICC the more impact the stats will have on your healing. I still wonder about the 4 set T10, atm it just does not sound all 2 promising.

Any thoughts, ideas?
 
I also looked at the T10 bonuses and found them lacking. I have 4T9 atm and I think I'm going to stay with that for some time. Since I'm not doing any ICC raids, getting Frost emblems is going slowly and I would rather use them for worthwhile upgrades. I'm thinking of getting one of the EoF cloaks, since I'm still using a 213 cloak.

The new idol, Idol of the Black Willow, also looks like a poor upgrade compared to Idol of Flaring Growth. The total spellpower is greater, but not by much so I won't upgrade it now. For someone that has a weaker idol than Flaring Growth might go for Black Willow though.

I just hope that Blizz doesn't decide to nerf T9 to make T10 better.
 
Im a mage so the pieces are a bit different but 4 x T9 is much better at this point until I get the 4 piece t10 ...

Thats not exactly a good reason to get the shoulders :p You'd want Gloves & legs 1st as they are the only ones with haste on them and with crit being useless on T10 its kinda annoying how the other 3 pieces have Crit on them.

Personally if you are going for T10 4set I'd go Gloves, Legs, Vestments of Spruce and Fir (95 Emblems), Shoulders, Head in that order, simply to get haste soft capped 1st and then worry about T10 4set (also since we don't actually know how the 4set is gonna perform)
 
I have the 4 set T9 which excludes my chest piece. Decided to rather get the non tier set pieces first then start saving for the T10 pieces. Will also probably wait till I have enough badges for either 2 or 4 set bonus before I buy them.
