Opinion: Gearing from Pugging

My previous post included my current gear list that I obtained almost entirely from 5mans. I thought I'd do another post that replaced the few raid items I'd gotten with gear from badges/5mans. Now, I haven't looked closely enough to insure that this is truly a "BiS 5man" list, but it's very close. There are possibly upgrades to the i200 items on the list but this is a set that's good enough to past most raid pug's gear checks.

Keep in mind that there are quite a few easy to obtain upgrades to this list that can be snagged from very puggable raids such as Onyxia, ToC 10, and even Ulduar. This should serve as just a baseline for what you can go after while pugging.

Here's a wowhead profile of my recommended gear: http://www.wowhead.com/?profile=20771511

Note that you're easily hit capped, but still about 3% away from dodge capped on expertise. This is definitely acceptable as feral cat is one of the few specs where hit and expertise aren't always your best stats below the cap. You also get the 2pc T9 which is pretty good and sit at 531 ArP without any procs. This is low, but again all this gear is obtainable from badges or 5mans so that number will shoot up as you start doing raids. The idol is the frost badge one, but any of the other idols are decent too.
