Yes, you definetly need to change your gems from strength to armor penetration and you need to add some expertise.Quote:

You also need to change some items, because your expertise is way too low, the cap is 26 but with the gear you have now you can't reach it. Farm some emblems of triumph and get the t9 legs.Quote:

You need to switch to 20 armor penetration the 10str+10crit and 10str+10hit gems too. I assume you are using them to get items bonus but they are not worthy. Especially the 10str+10hit gems, they are useless. As a fury warrior with 3 talent points spent on Precision you need only 5% hit (168 rating). For now there is nothing else you can change. I don't remember other items sold by the t9 vendor which can increase your expertise. Try to check the loot from FOS/POS/HOR heroic. There is a cloack which can be bought with 60 emblems of frost (Might of the Ocean Serpent) but it's terrible and you will soon replace it with the agility one (Recovered Scarlet Onslaught Cape). It would be a waste of frosties, which you want to save for the t10.Quote:

I'm too late for this one, but here's my 2 cents.
Gemming ARP is mostly for when you have enough passive (from gear, without gems) ARP, before that, Strength is the way to go. Now that you've already changed all of your gems might as well keep it that way. Gemming ARP in every single socket is good if you can get close to the cap (like 60% or maybe even more).
That is the way, but the sad truth is that, if you're pugging, you've gotta gem full ARP all the time because pugs are like that and that's all they know.
p.s. same goes for hunters, not sure about rogues but I'd guess also rogues until they get a decent amount from gear.
He already has enough passive armor penetration from his gear. He needs to replace his trinkets. There are few avaible solutions:Quote:

I don't know how hard is to join a pug on Lordaeron but maybe he can even join an ICC 10 3/12 to roll for the Whispering Fanged Skull.
yeah,my plan currently is to farm both banner of victory and needle encrusted scorpion trinketsQuote:
