Small note on orange gems, if your pvping you might want one of
these
. And if not hit capped maybe one of
these
.
Also I gem for socket bonuses more out of habit than anything else (when I first started playing I thought they had to be the same colour).

I'll socket Oranges for Either Spell power bonus or Haste bonus, that's it though.

However, I thought it valuable to put some numbers to oft given advice, "Don't gem for the socket bonus" or "Why are you gemming for the socket bonus?"
and you've not got as much support for that as you should have.
i think that the point is that there is no such thing as gemming rules since we have stat weights. we all seem to have accepted the stat weights so it shouldn't be so hard for the community to accept gem decision based entirely on those weights.
on a side note, blizz doesn't want there to always be a single best gem for any slot but that is the situation that almost every class/spec is in and if they were serious about wanting people to diversify their gems then they would imrpove socket bonuses accross the board.
