I would save up 200 badges and go for the legs and chest from badges without thinking twice.They are indicutably superior to anything you will get your hands on for quite a while now. The shoulders you have little choice but the t5 ones, unfortunately, or if you don't get any lucky you can probably get yourself a pair of

Not too long ago i was tasked with getting 10k hp raid buffed by my raid leader while maintaining >1800 +heal and >200mp5.
Not easy!
I made a shopping list that covers a way to break the PMC set and still get good regen and +heal.
I still keep my PMC set for long fights where I don't expect to get hit, but there are other times where having the extra stam (or +heal sometimes) has proved amazingly useful.
Check out my
Shopping List and see if there's anything there you can use to help break your PMC set.
I recommend following Qanre's advice though and using the PMC set when you need regen and you know you aren't going to take much damage.
Remember also that the T4 legs have some of the highest stam for PvE legs in the game. With the epic spellthread on they make a great bonus to the PMC set as well as giving you a healthy dose of +heal/stam/regen.
N.B. If you can get both Boots and Belt of the Long Road then you shouldn't loose out too much on regen when you do break set bonus.
