Who just goes around destroying Elementium? That stuff's expensive, and this ring just shows you have too much free time and money apparently.

Some of us still need to make things, buddy.

This and the other high-level JC rings aren't marked as unique-equipped like many (all?) of the lower-level stuff. If that doesn't change, putting two on at 85 would be an easy upgrade.

It seems extremely likely that either this ring or Band of Blades is itemized incorrectly, since there are 2 agility DPS rings and no strength DPS ring. Given the names, this one seems more likely to be changed.

At one point, this was considered an epic ring. Then stats were nerfed, but mats were left in place. Give the current mats, this is a waste of JC tokens.

Currently there aren't any epic agility rings you can get with valor points so they should have left it epic imho.

For a feral tank, having rings with sockets will bring your stam to 312 on each of these rings with Solid Ocean Sapphire
That's an extra 120 stam that you wouldn't get on other rings before raiding. So, not entirely a waste of JC tokens imo.

How much do you think would players pay for that ring ? I would like to buy that recipe.

Wrapping up my JC pattern comparison with the two Agility rings. Let's look at our 346 options:

Elementium Destroyer's Ring (JC crafted)
Band of Blades (JC crafted)
Nautilus Ring (Neptulon's Cache, Throne of the Tides)
Ring of Blinding Stars (Isiset, Halls of Origination)
Ring of Dun Algaz (Forgemaster Throngus, Grim Batol)
Skullcracker Ring (Rom'ogg Bonecrusher, Blackrock Caverns)
Terrath's Signet of Balance (Revered with Therazane)

Agility Ring Showdown

The first comparison on consequence should be against the two JC rings themselves. Before socketing anything, the Destroyer has +10 Agility and +114 Mastery vs the Blades' +27 Crit and +97 Hit. While it adds up to 124 on both sides, primary stats (should) take up more item points than secondary stats, which pushes the Destroyer ahead immediately. Putting a Delicate in the Destroyer and a Adept in the Blades only further proves the discrepancy: +30 Agility and +94 Mastery and +10 Haste vs +27 Crit and +107 Hit. Would you take +30 Agility over +27 Crit? I would. Even if you needed more Hit rating, reforging another piece or two of gear can make that Hit rating up, but nothing brings back the Agility loss.

Another comparison of note would be between the Destroyer and the Therazane rep ring. With a Glinting gem in there you have +89 Crit and +2 Mastery and +10 Haste vs 92 Hit. That means the Destroyer has a good 9 item levels over the rep ring despite being the same ilevel. That same 9 item level advantage appears against the Skullcracker after gemming: +2 Mastery and +10 Haste vs +3 Crit.

Bottom line is that this JC ring pattern enjoys some (slight) measure of overbudgetness compared to not only the other Agility ring pattern, but also against the rest of the available options. Although the Therazane rep ring is easier to acquire, everyone needs two rings so this one isn't a bad option at all, especially if an armchair min-maxer.

ah but what happens if you are over +hit like my hunter is... then the EDR looks a lot more tasty than the Blades one.

not to mention according to MaxDPS (which is update to the latest patch) states that the Signet of the Elder Council (Exalted - The Earthen Ring) only has 7 dps more than the EDR
