- There is really no reason for healers to have stamina over intellect for a shield in PvE. If you are that starved for health, grind some honor for PvP gear.

From the reading I've done, it doesn't appear that the Blues are entirely sure what they're going to do with it, other than try and keep it out of the trinket slot.

Regarding Slipknots:
1) He is 4/5 Brutal and 1/5 Vengeful.
2) Every piece of his gear that can be enchanted/socketed is enchanted/socketed.
Regarding Executed:
1) He is wearing Karazhan, badge, tailoring and some PvP gear.
2) Everything is not socketed and enchanted.
Now, for starters, tailoring epics have a low iLevel by default. Karazhan is also low in iLevel, as it is only equivalent to T4. Badge gear varies depending on which vendor you buy from. Brutal PvP gear is the PvP equivalent to Sunwell loot(Vengeful is equivalent to T6(Hyjal and BT)),therefore it will have a higher iLevel. So while Slipknots PvP gear will be docked for being PvP gear, it will still outweigh Executed's majority Karazhan gear because the iLevel difference is large enough. Not to mention the lack of enchants and sockets on Executed's gear, which hurts him.
As for who would be better in the instances, I would certainly take Slipknots over Executed. His survivability is, hands down, much better. You can argue the better stats all you want, a dead healer with good stats is worthless.
As an aside, most PvErs need to realize, there is a lot you can learn from PvP that will make you that much better in PvE. I often notice those players who PvP in their downtime outshine those who swear off PvP as something they don't think they should waste their time with.

Broodlord Mandokir is the easier of the two bosses that drop the Primal Hakkari Idol. Then just kill the trash around the hoodoo piles and hope for a warrior doll. There are several piles around High Priestess Arlokk's temple that are easy to clear. A few others here and there along the road that are also pretty easy. Most of the trash you won't need to clear, at 70 you can dodge a good part of it if you're careful. The axe throwers are still a nuisance, but healers can range the throw and still keep you alive.

It is a preference, really. I prefer stacking heal/mp5 and int/mp5 on my shaman. If the gear itself happens to have haste, that is fine. I tend to watch most of the other healers in a raid go OOM from spamming unnecessary heals, so I have to pick up their slack. Most CoH priests are notorious for this; they also devalue the resto shaman. However, being number one in healing does not mean a thing, the only healing meter that matters is the overheal. Healing is all about knowing when to heal and how to best utilize the heals you have. In general, as long as the raid is not wiping due to an error on your behalf, you are fine.

Before I decided to reroll my warrior, I used it to tank with as well. I have also managed to convince every other tank that I have mentored to obtain it as well. With all the defense on the tanking gear available, anything else is just a waste. The additional threat gained from the block value is wonderful, especially when you have to squeeze out as much threat as possible.
I am really hoping to see it outdone in Wrath, but still kind of doubtful that will happen. That's okay though, I run ZG for my tiger mount that still eludes me. Thank god I actually like ZG. ;p

Really, this should not be ranked so low as a helm enchant. It is, in fact, the best helm enchant for the Protection Warrior. I am hoping that it is only ranked the way it is due to it being a level 60 item, and theoretically items for level 70 should be better.
