For the cost of all the triumph emblems, I think you're better off buying some gear :P
Merlin's Robe is going for ~1,800g on my server, +/- 10%. I personally picked mine up for 1500g, quite the steal.
Here's my
pre-raid armory. Only exception is that I ran VoA for the Bloodmage Gloves and spent Frosties on the Shoulders to get T10.
I'm fairly certain that there are better chest enchants than 10 MP5. +10 Stats will give you 4 MP5 (Evocation) + Int (SP + Crit) + Spi (Crit).
You can probably improve on your ring by taking the Wrathful Gladiator version instead of Oath of Empress Zoe.
Looks nice, but generally speaking, you could do with more haste. Aim for 700+, it'll help significantly once you get T10 2pc.
looking at your legs.... you seem to have gemmed them wrong. If the bonus is 7SP per blue, or 5SP per yellow (or better), then they're prime candidates for a Reckless Ametrine or a Purified Dreadstone. For both a yellow AND blue socket, the bonus needs to be (logically speaking) 12SP or more. It's 7, and 7 < 12, therefore straight Runed Cardinals. As a result of that, you might want to switch the prismatic socket on your belt from straight SP to SP/Spi, or the one in your shoulders, as that would give a socket bonus.
Not quite. If you're going to have to gem something strange, you might as well get the socket bonus from it. In this case:
His approach: 23SP (runed) + 12SP (reckless) + 12SP (purified) + 7SP socket bonus = 54SP + 10 Haste + 10 Crit.
Your approach: 12SP (purified in Shoulder slot) + 23SP (Runed) + 23SP (Runed) + 5SP socket bonus in Shoulders = 63SP + 10 Crit.
10 Haste = 9 SP, generally speaking, at pre-raid levels. The 5SP or better for yellow is primarily applicable at top gear levels.
