Need a little help with my Boomkin

[:1]I would like a little help with how I am gearing right now as a boomkin.

1) I need to decide whenther to use Blade of the Witching Hour and Book of Binding Will / Scepter of Ice OR Chelley's Staff of Dark Mending

2) I'd like to know if I am gemming and reforging correctly scecifically because im hit starved like crazy (keep into account I am eating hit food so I only need about 16% hit)

Note: I own the in addition to my current trinkets, but I am not using it.

Thanks!, Draken

Well the linking definitely did not work!
Linking requires item number from WoWhead, not item name.

As for the weapons. Blade/Book is better than the Staff.
book is the best off-hand I think and always use MH/OH over staff

Get rid of that ugly, ugly stam gem. if you have reforged into hit/spirit wherever possible without losing haste start putting +40 spirit gems into blue slots and +20 int/+20 spirit gems in red slots.
Your trinkets are good, use the ones you have equipped. Gemming is fine, if not exactly perfect.

Your reforging definitely needs some work. You have a lot of items that aren't reforged, so you're missing potential hit there. Also, it's better to reforge haste -> spirit/hit before you resort to gemming pure hit or using hit food, because it's better to replace haste than to replace int (although if you can avoid dropping below a haste break point by gemming a little extra spirit instead of reforging, might be worth it).

In the sticky there's a little section about how to reach and stay at the hit cap. There's no reason why with a 357 avg ilevel you should not be able to reach hit cap.

edit: didn't even notice that was a stam gem, lol! I just saw blue and assumed it was spirit or hit. Yes, definitely get rid of that now.
bahahah! how the heck did i get a stam gem in there!!!
Ok, a few pointers here.

Some of your reforging is bad. Please keep in mind that Mastery is Better than Crit. In a few instances looking at your gear, namely your Neck and Chest pieces, you reforged your Mastery into Spirit when you should have reforged your Crit to spirit.

The yellow gem on your helm needs to be changed to int/haste, not int/crit.

Also, keep in mind that hit is more beneficial than any other secondary stat. I see that you have a few pieces that are not reforged because they only have haste on them, as well as spirit. You could reforge some of your haste to hit rating to meet your hit cap.

Then, once you're at hit cap without the hit food, you can eat int food which will be a bigger benefit than the current state you're in.

A big piece you could use is Twined Band of Flowers which is a ring you can buy with VP which can give you a bit more of the spirit you need. Its pretty cheap too, I think at 1250 VP.

Edit: After typing my post and noticed Eluial posted similar advice :P Just goes to show we must know what we're talking about :P
