However, at the rate i'm changing gear at the moment I think i'll stick with my RED + Nightmare tear as a setup that is self activating. As you said, the difference is minimal, and it saves me the stress of working out my regemming all the time :) Good point Elam.

I doubt that hit rating will be an issue, I've got nearly 500 right now and I've swapped out similarly good pieces with hit for ones without. If a bit is needed there are enchants and gems that can bolster it a bit in the end. The lack of expertise is troubling, guess I'll have the ToGC10 expertise trinket probably through most of T10 content unless I want to gem and enchant for it i suppose. Similar to where I was in T7 before the talent change. But it's not as disappointing as the utter abundance of armor pen on a lot of the physical dps gear from leather to plate. It affects paladins nearly as much as enhancement shamans so there's solace in that. It makes me feel like I'm missing something, this is T10 gear, they right out and said that later tiers were supposed to be itemized better so there's solid upgrades. I know it's the meat and potatoes of some classes and specs but in the pieces that don't have armor pen seem to have a lot of hit instead, like we're trading one suboptimal stat for another.

It's the +21 crit/3% increased crit damage one, and it requires two blue gems and nothing else. However, it's really such a minimal dps difference that it's not worth really worrying about. Either meta works. :P The standard practice has actually become Chaotic Skyflare Diamond, as of late. It’s the +21 crit/3% increased crit damage one, and it requires two blue gems and nothing else.

The REarthsiegeD only needs one of each colour. The REarthstormD (TBC) required two of each colour. Standard practice should be REarthsiegeD and Nightmare Tear in your helm as the Nightmare Tear on its own takes care of activating the RED. Since when do you need 2 blues for meta activation?
