Odd, I thought I had mentioned that in a previous post of mine.
Must have deleted it, since I had said that Rosegold assumes you have the cash/resources to afford slotting it accordingly, while you can do the same with gryphonskin for a much cheaper amount.
Liek I said, rosegold is only SLIGHTLY better, but its expensive.

Gryphonskin?
Its cheap, and practically just as good.
Of course whenever SE chooses to release gear beyond ilvl90; it will probably render it all moot =(
