So yesterday I explained why I'm only going for 2 pieces of T10 at this time, and that I generally value the bonus around 150 HEP.
Looking at the actual itemization, I'm going to go for the shoulders and the head. Basically, the handguards and the legguards, having 0 haste on them, are actually overall downgrades for me from my current gear. The chest is a nice upgrade, but not nearly as nice as the cloth chestpiece purchasable from Emblem of Frost as well.
So I'm going to plug in the 2 pieces of tier that I want to buy, plus the craftable leatherworking patterns (Frozen Saronite can be bought for 23 Emblems of Frost each), and update the pull list I made about a week ago. In the meantime I've run new HEP numbers based on a night of ICC healing. You can see the new rankings here.
The tier pieces are augmented by half of the projected HEP bonus from the set, so 62 each. In addition, because the trinket and the totem are so hard to model, and I'm not really that excited about either, I'm probably going to hold off on even attempting to acquire them until I see some real numbers on them. I've also left on the non Emblem gear that is available in Lower Spire before the next content expansion (which is only in like 3 weeks, so it's not really that long).
So that's why I'm getting the pretty deer shoulders first. MATHS MADE ME!
[Update: Thanks, Gritz! Yeah I meant T10, and I messed up on my spreadsheet and used an old HEP value I had from older haste valuations, of 125 for the HEP bonus.]

Thanks so much for doing this!
Two comments - I think you meant T10 in the first paragraph, and it looks like you used a HEP of 125 for the 2-piece bonus, not 150.
I have very similar gear to yours and I'm torn about what my first piece should be - ignoring the 2-piece bonus (since I'd only have the one piece for now) then neither the shoulders nor the helm is a big upgrade, but the belt would be. But, buying the belt would put me that much farther away from getting 2p T10. Plus there's an awesome cloth belt from Marrowgar 25.
Ahh, decisions, decisions...
Thanks Gritz! Made the corrections (well I left the HEP bonus at 125 because it doesn't change the rankings and I'm too lazy to redo the math).
Yeah, it's important to note I'm only looking at gear acquirable through 10-man content.
I'm sure that 25 marrowgar is actually probably pretty viable, even with a pug, and I may look into getting into one of those during the holiday break, but it's not something my guild will be scheduling, so I'm not really banking on any of that.
Ahh, that makes sense. Marrowgar-25 is definitely puggable, in my opinion, since the fight doesn't change between 10 and 25. Might be a while before the cloth belt goes to a mail wearer, tohough.
Lady Deathwhisper, on the other hand, is probably pug-resistant for a while.
