Upgrading to greens? Not so much

Can I ask what class/spec you're playing? I'm leveling my shadow priest. I started out in ~T5 equivalent gear (2.3 and 2.4 badge gear, frozen shadow weave, etc). At least it was considered t5 equiv.

But shadow priest itemization has changed quite a bit. Spirit and Crit were not very useful in the past, so my gear had almost none of either. Because of this, combined with my goal of increasing spirit as much as possible to aid leveling through spirit tap, I've replaced nearly half my gear at level 73. I lost about 50dps actually from the focus on spirit, but I have no mana problems and don't ever have to stop to drink while questing or in dungeons.

The irony is that I was originally very annoyed with the major changes to our itemization priorities. But it's turned out to be a lot of fun to find upgrades (or side grades) so early on. Especially since the spirit I'm collecting isn't nearly as much of a waste when I get to raiding as it was in TBC.
