I can get to block cap now, should I ?
Im now at a gear level where I can gem mastery and hit 100% cap against a 88 lvl boss (102.4)
My question is should I bite the bullet and just do it ? I am currently at 97.44% ctc against a 88 boss. I dont flask. I use the mastery elixir and food. What is keeping me from doing this is...
1. My hitpoints will go below 170k raid buffed
2. There is quite a bit of magic damage
3. My windwalking enchant is giving me 3% dodge a little over 40% of the time which then covers me (97.44 +3) 40% of the time. I spec 2/2 into reckoning to help with the uptime.
4. A full hit in Cata now does not kill you right off so while 100% coverage is awesome, it seems like it is not as important as it was in previous expansions
5. On fights like Nef and Chogall and Heroic Halfus, I HAVE to interupt. My hit is at 1.5%
_________________________
The only answer Im afraid of getting is "it depends"
Basically, should I go ahead and change my last puissants to pure mastery and my last chimera's eye to mastery? I dont like my health shooting down so what Im hoping for is a definitive answer one way or another. Currently I am being a ***** and not commiting either way.

Re: I can get to block cap now, should I ?
Quite honestly, I think you should have this discussion with your healing team and see how they feel about it. Treckie recently did some experiments and posted his experience. Don't quote me, but I believe it was along the lines of "didn't make a huge impact one way or the other" with the exception that there was a fight or two where he stayed high stamina (Sinestra I believe was one).
Talk to your healers, work with them on it and let them help you decide.

It won't make a huge difference untill you can actually reliably have the cap all the time, and have enough gear to compensate for the health problem. It's also much more usefull for fights with huge physical damage.
I use it on most fights myself, except for conclave hc. But I haven't cleared all hcs yet. I also have a bit more health to go with it.
If your raid is making you interupt with 1.5% hit, there is something wrong with your tactics.
You could easily cap in your current gear. Just buy the boe shield and regem a bit.

I was on interupting before 4.1 too, had to save my AS and Rebuke then popped em both to interupt.
So happy we can't miss anymore now since the patch!

Amirya:Why yes, your penis is longer than his because you hit 30k dps in the first 10 seconds. But guess what? That raid boss has a dick bigger than your ego.
Flex:I don't make mistakes. I execute carefully planned strategic group wipes.
Levie:(in /g) It's weird, I have a collar and I dont know where I got it from, Worgen are kinky!
Levie:Drunk Lev goes and does what he pleases just to annoy sober Lev.

Spambot. I've actually recognized the last part.
