Battlemaster's Cruelty or Determination?

[Daavos]

For an arms warrior doing 2v2 arena which one is better? I'm currently using the Shard of Contempt.Shard of Contempt - Item - World of Warcraft (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=34472)

I only ask, because everything I've read says not take items/gems with AP as strength is better yet I see warriors with the Battlemaster's Determination - Item - World of Warcraft (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=34578BoD) instead of BoC.Battlemaster's Cruelty - Item - World of Warcraft (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=34576)

Wouldn't the 40 crit rating be better for an arms warroir the 80 AP? Or should I just sick with my current trinket?

once you get 1800 or so unbuffed AP, it's time to stack crit.

the only real reason to take str over AP is for BoK, and in arenas you'll probably never be getting that, so it isn't a big deal.

Why not?

Because if you're on a team with one paladin you would get blessing of might, and two paladin teams are very rare.

against most teams you'll probably get your blessings dispelled anyway, so it's all moot.

ok just so i got this

AP trinket > then Crit trinket unless you AP unbuft is 1800 or greater.
