Great lists, they’ve been really helpful as I started gearing myself out. I realize you’re trying to avoid listing tanking gear in these lists but in the case of shoulders it might be worth mentioning the BOE world drop shoulders “Pauldrons of Edward the odd”. Easy to obtain, albeit maybe expensive, a large amount of strength as well as mastery, reforge off 40% of the parry and you’re left with about 67 parry as wasted stats. I’d say they would probably sit at the top of this list pending hit and exp capping. Any thoughts?

Shoulders are kinda limited, and the PvP shoulders are blacksmithing skill-up items. I think there’s still a pair in my guild bank from someone skilling up BS. Strength on them is fairly nice and expertise is never bad. If you’re over the expertise capd and/or below the hit cap you can reforge the expertise into hit if you need it.
