"I probably would have stacked strength or mastery gems and reforged more haste along with crit for hit, but either way seems to work. (My draenei has more standing-around money, so he went with more strength gems than my night elf, who is instead relying more on reforging.)"

Now that I've shown you that you are very bad at reading comprehension...

If you had several warriors and four at 80, maybe you'd focus your efforts on one of them (as I have) or maybe you'd try to get all four to the best possible gem/enchant choices no matter how much time or money it took you. That's your prerogative. I, however, am not seeing low DPS on the night elf even though I went with the cheaper alternative because I know I'm going to replace half of his gear. If I can do up to 13k per boss and a solid 9 to 11k through the heroic on a character who does not raid, I'm okay with that.

As for my draenei, frankly, I'm afraid to talk about his DPS. I left a few crit gems in for sockets, but he's 80% str gemmed, and it's kind of insane how hard he hits.
