Oh thank goodness, I got rid of my last blue piece! I obtained Iron Belly Wok to replace Lessons of the Darkmaster.

The latter was nice for an insane burst of DPS out of the gate but I prefer having passive strength. Theorycrafters might call me out here but meh, that’s just me.
And after wielding an ungemmed Shin’ka, Execution of Dominion for weeks, my weapon now has a +500 strength gem courtesy of the Black Prince.

I’ve heard of people who got flak for socketing epic gems into their Raid Finder weapons but hey, if you can afford to pay 10K for a new epic gem when you obtain a better weapon, I say to hell with what they think and do what you believe is best to get the most DPS out of your current weapon.
Besides, with all the (insert expletive here + ing) dailies we do, there’s no way we can ever go broke!
