@Mercy, I do agree with you and this is a great guideline every leader should know. BUT one thing I disagree with:
I'd say that Always, always, ALWAYS try to need what gives you the best upgrade, even in pugs. That said, someone who doesn't have a good guild, wouldn't ever be BiS. Apart from what I described in the topic i copied at the beginning, I have a few more stories that leaders refused me stuff, even called me ninja for needing in a pug:
Toskk's Maximised Wristguards on fury warrior;
Aldriana's gloves on fury warrior;
Sanguine silk robes on dudu (resto).
That said, "because for example, some leather items are good for a Warrior, even though they can wear plate armor.
" means like downgrading stuff for one class just because it can wear higher armor armor type ignoring the mentioned 3 items are BiS for the mentioned toons. :)
