My first item to purchase is the 8.5 chest, but that's mostly because I've been lucky with some drops when I was somehow the only plate dps in the raid, so now I'm pretty much end of the line for our point system. The tier chest is extremely nice.
I have some badges burning a hole in my pocket. What are you fury Warriors doing with your Emblem of Conquest - Item - World of Warcraft ?
here is the list of items
Broach of the Wailing Night Broach of the Wailing Night - Item - World of Warcraft
very Roguie and low ap. I am already approaching 40% crit unbuffed. Armor penetration is the new sexy stat
Spiked Battleguard ChokerSpiked Battleguard Choker - Item - World of Warcraft
at last a neck piece with Strength...alot more ap than the Broach of Wailing Night...maybe not as good as the one that drops from the Iron Council 25 Insurmountable Fervor - Item - World of Warcraft
Bladebreaker Gauntlets Bladebreaker Gauntlets - Item - World of Warcraft Look like win to me ...even as a Fury Warrior Armor Pen is pretty hot. Another option drops off Freya Gauntlets of Ruthless Reprisal - Item - World of Warcraft or maybe I should be looking at leather. both of these look like a solid upgrade over Crude Discolored Battlegrips - Item - World of Warcraft
Belt of the Singing Blade Belt of the Singing Blade - Item - World of Warcraft Look pretty nice aswell. Better than anything from Naxx. The Blacksmithing Belt Belt of the Titans - Item - World of Warcraft looks better. how bout the Ignis drop Girdle of Embers - Item - World of Warcraft
Legplates of the Violet ChampionLegplates of the Violet Champion - Item - World of Warcraft I'm not sure what to do. I have 7.5 8.5 and Double Strikes already. The only dropped legs in Uldy I have seen is the one from Hard Mode Flame Leviathan the super sexy Plated Leggings of Ruination - Item - World of Warcraft
Or just save and get 8.5? Decisions decisions

To be honest, I'm saving mine for 8.5 even if it takes me forever (i only raid once a week!) because of 3 weeks of raiding, we haven't seen a SINGLE protector token drop. Not one. We have 2 full time dps warriors, 1.5 prot warriors (1 full time, and me), 2 hunters, 4 shamans. I REALLY doubt when that elusive token drops, I'll get a chance at it, and I'd rather one of the full timers to get it anyways. So i'm holding off.
8.5 4pc (without shoulders) are the four BIS options for us, to my knowledge. For that reason, I won't be spending badges on legs or gloves.
The Agi/ArP neck is better than the strength ones you listed.
Ignis belt is better than the other two listed (due to its ArP), but the other two are viable options.
Personally, I'm going with saving until I'm close to getting T8.5 gear, then assessing what I already have and making a decision. Due to BIS, the two pieces of T8.5 and the neck are top 3 purchases (but if you have a good shot at getting head/chest from thorim/hodir, I'd look into buying the neck early. Two warrior tanks and two resto shamans in my guild make it rare that I'll be seeing them any time soon, personally)
ebs, I believe that Helm/Shoulders/Chest/Gloves is best for 4pc, and then use the 25LeviHard pants or the leather pants from 25YoggHard.
I'd either save for t8.5 or get the belt/gloves.
Told you so.
