Finally got an upgrade in beta

Finished a rather epic quest chain involving Arthas, and got the
Betrayer's Choker. I cut an Enduring Dark Jade for it, and it proc'ed a perfect cut. So it's quite the lovely item now.

My bad, Ring of the Stalwart Protector *is* better than the Violet Signet

I dunno why I waited so long.  Finally compared the rings using tankpoints and ratingbuster.  There's no question the Stalwart is better.  Spent the badges, now self buffing with Kings I'm 16k+ health.  Not bad.
