I went with shoulders because of the lack of hit I had, then the head.
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=50780 Is easy to obtain and gives excellent gains for its' iLevel. The gloves suck, and I found that with the 2 set bonus, the head is decent, but without gaining the 2 set bonus, my spreadsheet shows me only a 3 dps increase for it. I have played with the combinations, and until we are doing 25 man regularly and I can get the tier token for the chest, the chest above is your best bet.
As for the legs, the crafted ones, with my hit rating, show to be one slot below BiS, ONE spot lower than the 277 heroic legs, so those are def my next investment.
here is my armory to get an idea of what I did. This was an alt up until a few weeks ago. I am hoping the frigid chest drops for me, otherwise, not really worried about the chest enchant.

An additional tidbit, BIS gear for Combat includes the
offset gloves, and for Mutilate includes the
offset chest. So don't take those bits.
Additionally, going immediately for 2-piece tier 10 is the best route - even if you have to save up to get both bits at the same time (due to just one bit being a dps loss). For this reason, going for the two lower-cost pieces is most effective. Failing that, the trinket is pwnzorz for Mutilate.
