Tip of the Day - Shadow Priest Gemming

"When gemming up your gear as a shadow priest it's simple. Always go for the +40 Intellect gems unless the socket bonus will give you +20 Intellect."

Doesn't this "tip" also apply to 'locks right now? All the 'locks in my guild are following that strategy.

I'd assume it would be a fine way to gem for all the caster DPS classes but I honestly don't know for sure since it's not my usual choice for DPS.

Sort of like hunters using pure Agi gems unless the socket bonus is uber agi too.

Can't go wrong with Int for DPS casters, but I am pretty sure affliction locks go for haste and fire mages for crit in many cases instead of 40 int gems.

Here's a better tip for Shadow Priest gemming from the EJ thread -
Gemming
Red: [Brilliant Inferno Ruby]
Yellow: [Reckless Ember Topaz] if the socket bonus is +10 int or better, as a rule of thumb. Use your own stat weightings to be sure of this though. The question you need to answer is this: Would +30 int and +20 haste be better than +40 int? If haste is at least half as good as int, then the answer is yes. If it's worth less than half of int, then the answer is no.
Blue: [Purified Demonseye] if you're trying to reach hit cap. If you're not, or don't care, ignore socket bonus unless it's really good and use [Brilliant Inferno Ruby] For example Mercurial Vestment is worth matching colors for because the bonus is +20 intellect.
