Orc Staff vs Elf Sword

Сообщение от Braevia

So, when I hit 80 on my mage, I decked myself out with Quel'Delar (w/black magic) and a Shriveled Heart. Then the Maghari Staff dropped, and RAWR (kinda?) told me that the staff was better, and I liked having more mana. Then last night, we had a run of boring drops, including a Scourgelord Baton that nobody wanted. I put it into the item comparison on this site with stat weights for an Arcane mage, and not only did it tell me that Quel'Delar/Baton was better, but that I was better off with the shriveled heart as well.

Adding to my confusion, it rates the sword/baton higher than sword/heart, despite the heart having more haste where the baton has hit that I don't need. Who should I believe? RAWR, or Wowhead?

Then why was RAWR telling me that the staff was better than sword/heart? neither has hit, so it couldn't have been weighing that. I also noticed that the item comparison on this site always prefers Black Magic to Spellpower for arc mages. Is that completely accurate? I thought SP was better for 2 handers.

It happens sometimes. Rawr isn't 100%. I use it as a guildeline and then use gut instinct for the rest.

I personally find at the moment that the WoWHead Profiler + SimualtionCraft GUI produces more realistic results than Rawr.
