I'm just wondering if maybe DL hands (pants too?) is enough to cap regen and get VIT to a nice level. If I'm remembering right, the hands would bring me to ~425 enhancing magic - so I'm just curious how you squeeze out that last little bit. As I see it right now I'd have to make a lot of sacrifices to healing magic potency to get this (guessing that's why you say you use it mostly for trash mobs).

Regen is just so insanely good compared to cure I see more benefit buffing enhancing than I do healing. Particularly when running with another whm where 2x cure ends up being perfectly fine for most things, and I rarely use Cura unless I see low yellow (usually the other whm is doing cura so I like to get in that faster cure for safety).
My gear is listed in one of my replies here, like I said I have 422 Enhancing Magic normally. If I were to wear an Amber Ring +1 I could push it up to 426-427, But not up to 438 quite yet. To be perfectly honest, it's not worth sacrificing the other stuff you get in those slots in order to get your enhancing that high, especially with Enhancing Magic materia on the horizon. If that materia follows the same value pattern as Healing Magic Potency materia, it'll be stupidly easy to get over 438; hell, with my current gear a single slot minimum value tier 4 (+16) would get me there exactly.
