I forgot to mention that I do have the Ironworks choker. I picked it up for more spell speed. Unfortunately, tests indicate it's a DPS loss currently so I keep the Dreadwyrm on.

I'm skeptical of the wrist since I'd be losing quite a bit of Spell Speed (20)

Your tests are wrong. Its only a DPS loss if, by using the Dreadwyrm choker, you can put on a different damage piece elsewhere - or if you don't have the accuracy for the required content.

So, keeping the Dreadwyrm on is a DPS loss? I can ask for more and maybe ask him for crit rates as well. May have gotten lucky. (2 13 minute checks)

I'm going by what you're wearing on lodestone; keeping it on leaves you with 507 Accuracy, which puts you just barely above the T12 requirement.
Outside of that, you're more likely to see a DPS increase with the ironworks choker on.

A sample size of two is too small, even if its 13 minutes long. Basically, only use it if you need the accuracy. That should go for any accuracy pieces, and obviously prioritise pieces with spellspeed/acc on.
