Gems
Sorry for the late reply to the question about gems, RL has been busy and I've not been online in a few days--and won't be back to raiding until Thursday night with the crazy week I have coming up.
As for gems... I went all AP & Crit, with 1 Hit Rating gem. I replaced all of my Str related gems. My Armory profile hasn't updated since 10/16, which was before I made these changes so they are not yet reflected online.
I wanted to use as few hit gems as possible so I figured out how to do my gear and enchants in such a way that I only needed 1
I then used as honor points and DKP to pick up the following:
1 x Bold Ornate Ruby - Honor Points
1 x Gleaming Orante Dawnstone - Honor Points
1 x Smooth Ornate Dawnstone - Honor Points
1 x Rigid Lionseye - DKP
1 x Gleaming Lionseye - DKP
1 x Bright Crimson Spinel - DKP
The three red gems went into my helm, the Grimgrin Faceguard, where I skipped the socket bonus to stack AP. Then all of the yellow gems went 1 each into my chest, gloves, belt, and legs to get the socket bonus on each of those.
It was a nice upgrade across the board. If you don't have enough Honor Points or access to gems through your guild bank you should check the AH. Prices are dropping on everything right now and you can probably pick up some rare-quality gems on the cheap.

Damn... Without any true comprehension of how to run sims, I went for Agi/PA instead my +For gems, and only manage to sustain my hit rating to 167, and only gain +0.6O% crit :(
Thx for the advice though.

Agi is good ushush. In fact I just spotted one last Str gem that I need to replace--don't know how it escaped my review before. I'm going to replace it with Agi because Agi gets a boost from Blessing of Kings.
Going Agi/AP is fine. It was just my decision to go AP/Crit. As long as you don't go Str or Int or worse MP5!
