Ideal helm for Malygos.

http://www.wowhead.com/?item=41387
Tempered Titansteel Helm
Binds when equipped
Head Plate
1821 Armor
+61 Strength
+162 Stamina
Meta Socket
Blue Socket

Effulgent Skyflare Diamond
+32 Stamina and Reduce Spell Damage Taken by 2%
Requires at least 2 Blue gems
Requires at least 1 Red gems
"Only fits in a meta gem slot."

I am pretty sure this much is right. Where I am not sure is which of the following 2 buffs to get.

http://www.wowhead.com/?item=44140
Arcanum of the Eclipsed Moon
Binds when picked up
Requires Level 80
Requires The Wyrmrest Accord - Honored
Use: Permanently adds 25 arcane resist and 30 stamina to a head slot item. Does not stack with other enchantments for the selected equipment slot.

or

http://www.wowhead.com/?item=44150
Arcanum of the Stalwart Protector
Binds when picked up
Requires Level 80
Requires Argent Crusade - Revered
Use: Permanently adds 37 stamina and 20 defense rating to a head slot item. Does not stack with other enchantments for the selected equipment slot.

(I am not entirely sure at the moment if his Arcane breath is arcane damage to begin with)

Any thoughts?

http://www.wowhead.com/?item=41377 is close to useless. It doesn't do what it's tooltip says. It multiplies your resist by 2% so you'll gain 1-2 resist.

If his breath can be resisted, then the arcane resist enchant is better. Please understand that the resist mechancis have changed since TBC and you won't beable to get past 128 arcance resist easily, even with a druid supplying imp mark of the wild. Even with a frost DK you'll only get to 125 arcance resist. This is also assuming the +20 frost resistance back enchant. Now if you are a LW this becomes much easier with their resist enchants.

The titansteel helm is best choice, but with the other stam meta in it, and chanted with the stam/def chant. Majiben explained why :)
