Stat Priority as a WHM.

While I agree that spell speed is garbage, it's not entirely true that the piece without spell speed is BiS. It highly depends on what kind of stat is on it and the value of it. Interestingly enough, this happens to be the case with i130 gear, but previous patch (i110 gear) some piety pieces came in paired with spell speed. (High Allagan Circlet, Gloves and ring for example)

That's why I said there may be exceptions. Thank you for clarifying though.

Breaking down what I said earlier:

If both pieces have spell speed and one has a lower amount, that means you are choosing between a high amount of det/crit/pie or a low amount of det/crit/pie. If the high amount is det, then the choice is obvious. If the high is crit and the low is pie, you should get the crit. If the low is det, then I would still go with crit here, but it's a bit of a wash. If the high is pie then you need to make a decision based on how much mana you think you need.
