Ok so, most people go "just get the 21 AGI meta because you can activate it with a 10 stats gem and then you can go all out with AP or haste!" but i'm not sure if this is always true. A 21 crit meta requires an extra blue gem - a 6 stats gem in the appropriate blue socket, to be better.
I think that 6 stats is 36~AP raidbuffed with a 12ap bonus, whereas 40AP is 44AP raidbuffed. On its own the 40AP gem is clearly superior (the extra crit from 6stats is not worth 8ap), but activates what I understand is a better meta statistically.

Which meta is better for you depends entirely on your current gearset.
For some gearsets, activating a second blue socket bonus with a 6 stats and using CSD is more dps. For others, activating only the one blue socket bonus with a 10 stats and using RED is more dps. Enhsim and Rawr can help you figure out which holds true for you currently.

Why would you use +6 all stats prismatic if you only need 1 blue? I think purple gem is perfectly enough here.
Because it activates a superior meta gem (CSD)

the agility meta requires a red, a yellow, and a blue socket
using a prismatic gem fulfills all of those, allowing you to stack AP
Prismatics dont do that anymore(or at least, arent supposed to), they match whatever socket you put them in, so a nightmare tear in a blue socket = blue, red socket = red, etc.

Uh, no, prismatics still hit all three just fine.
Try testing ingame some time.

Yeah, you're thinking of the old JC "prismatic" gems which they got rid of. Nightmare Tear and the other +stats unique gems are still prismatic and count as any color gem and unlock the Agi meta.
As to the OP, you're just going to have to either sim it out or look at other Enhs around your gear level. For the record, I use the Crit meta.
