What class uses T2 pieces the most?

im guessing Fury warrior is lowest ^^

Maybe warlock would have T2 items on for the longest time until next content?

As fury you will be expected to Offtank quite alot through BWL and AQ40 so T2 would most cerntainly be usable. When it comes to Prot there's basically two schools of thought on T2:

1. Keep full T2 set until naxx. The set bonues are nice and the set as a whole offers great mitigation.
2. Change around 3-5 pieces wtih AQ40 loot. You will loose mitigation but you will gain TPS and avoidance.

As for other classes, I think most will replace their T2 with AQ40 loot.

Pretty much all classes using their primary spec get a lot of mileage out of their T2. It's a very well designed tier of armor.

Quite a few will replace some T2 with stuff from ZG or AQ, but that's kind of expected.

Hunter and Priest T2 8set bonus are both really good. Hunter bonus increases all ranged DPS and Priest Bonus makes their greater heal 1 really, really, mana efficient.
You'd want one priest and one hunter with the full set in every raid.

Not to mention the Priest T2 3-set bonus is a pretty huge bonus to mana regen.

Depending on the proc rate, rogue t2 8/8 is BiS

8/8 for most classes is really good for raiding. T1 8/8 is typically really good for 5 mans. T2.5 5/5 is usually really good for world/structured pvp.

Rogue: 2 piece and 8 piece are both quite good, especially 8.

Hunter: 2 piece is quite good, and 8 piece is ridiculously good.

Paladin: 5 piece gives a great boost to damage and healing.

Mage: 8 piece 10% chance for instant spell, not sure how good that actually is for PvE overall though
considering it also uses up a GCD and mana.

Druid: 3 piece mana regen is quite good and 8 piece 3 more sec to rejuv gives a nice boost to healing overall.

Shaman: 3 piece 30% more heal from chain to secondary targets, seems quite sick, and 5 piece 3% crit is quite decent

Priest: 3 piece mana regen is quite good and 8 piece and free rank 5 renew on greater healing is quite OP.

The problem with the casters mage and lock is the lack of hit, which means that the sets aren't that great and can be replaced by blues that are addded in later patches, sadly :( Mage T2 is AMAZING for PvP though.

I would say that priest and hunter are the biggest winners overall.

Lol at these answers. Considering you are the following:
- Raider
- The obtained T2 is supposed to be used for raiding, and you want to use the best obtainable gear combination
- We factor in obtainable gear from ZG; then

Around half of the T2 is absolute garbabe. It's a fancyboys' IF-set for showing off.

Rogue: Bracers and chest are the one you want to fire your DKP on. Belt and legs debatable, there are better hit-items available. Rest is fucking waste of DKP.
Warlock: Gloves only. Vendor the rest.
Mage: See above.
Shaman/Paladin: Nice try. Everything sucks and if you use it for PvE progression in a healing role you are not optimising, you are trying to look cool.

So you have the case for Warrior, Hunter, Priest and Druid, where all pieces by themselves aren't necessarily BiS, but there are more ways of building gear (healers) and hunters (8p bonus).
