I know there has been many threads on this but after looking at the gear now that I am working on that aspect of the game, I don't see how I can't afford to do it. Between the Netherstrike Set and the Hurricane Boots, those are the best pieces you can get for each of those slots without pvp/heroics/raids and in most cases they are the best by a long shot.

I'm not really looking forward to the grind and will have more drums than I know what to do with but I think it's for the best. If you disagree, please convince me. :P
