You know how after you've gotten all your gear, having ran X dungeon so many times, you never feel the urge to go back..ever? It's kind of like the end-game rut, but not end game? Yeah, think TOC 5 woman *shudder*
Remember when Truny was running Heroic Halls of Reflection like it was going out of style all for Shriveled Heart? Oh the amount of search engine results this blog got for that one item, well HA here's another entry for it LMAO!
I just remembered that Turny also picked up Midnight Sun yesterday and what other offhand is better for it than the easily (UH HUH) obtainable Shriveled Heart?? Yes I get to heal for a purpose again! I purchased the ilvl200 Handbook of Obscure Remedies to fill in for it, since the dagger itself is 120 spellpower stronger than Perdition, but without many other stats, but that's okay!

Truny the Warlock's Loot Drama: Shriveled Heart
Remember two days ago when Truny ran Heroic Halls of Reflection and saw the Shriveled Heart drop? And remember how the healer and a dps pally rolled on it and the healer won and I was like "ok next time it is"?
Well, after an excellent run yesterday, our tank held aggro like a champion, we cleared the fourth wave of scary scourage in the Run Away event and I was thinking "ok this is it", and TADA!
(This is just from Wowarmory, I have "real" pics on my laptop)
It actually looks like a swirly frothing Orange Sorbet. I think the actual Shriveled Heart is stored inside this noise-maker.
With this last upgrade it puts my final unbuffed stats at:
Bonus Damage: 2525
Hit Rating: 347
Crit Chance: 28.3%
Haste Rating: 569
I will need to move my talents away from Improved Corruption into Supression to make up for Hit so I don't miss during the VoA Weekly Lottos (though the last run we did I didn't miss with JUST 16% ish hit)
I will also be trying for 760 raw haste (+240 from the Spellgem for 1000!!!!)

Truny and the Shriveled Heart - Updates
Yay guess what dropped in the routine H HOR last night? Yes, the Shriveled Heart! The off-hand where EVERY character with an offhand slot that needs Spell Power wants!
Of course I lost the roll, the heart went to the healer, and also one of our dps paladins rolled on it, it seems they are working on a healing set.
I had just realized I was using the "wrong" offhand item. The violet citadel thinger. I switched to the Handbook of Obscure Remedies. Just for the haste, I like haste, MORE haste! (I am aiming for 1000 haste after spellstone since I do NOT raid I do not count in bloodlusts)
The whole point of going after the Shriveled Heart is to see how "geared" I can get as a non-raider. I guess it's to appease the Godly Raider when they see me in THEIR daily dungeon so I don't hold THEM back in their progress.
(Even though a Demonology Warlock usually tops DPS, Total Damage, boss DPS in every single dungeon in 5-mans. We're just bursty)* Exception: T10.5 geared arcane mages who will just spam Arcane Blast or whatever the hell that thing is on a boss and kill it in 5 hits. (Which is good since its less work for me)
Comparison: Switching from Handbook to Shriveled Heart (Which is NEVER since everyone wants it)
Stamina: +11
Intellect: -2 hmm...
Spirit: -38 (Uh oh) -19 SP later.
Crit: +51. Whatever, don't need.
Haste: +25 (+0.76% haste) ANYTHING more than 0 is good at this point for this slot!
Spellpower: +19 BUT -19 because of Spirit. = ZERO
So we gain a little bit of Crit, a little bit of haste. So it's not THAT much better. And looking at Wowhead it looks like a....Maraca??
One a sidenote, Truny DID receive an upgrade: The Braid of Salt and Fire from Heroic ICK in Heroic Piece of Shi- I mean Pit of Saron. 60 haste and 60 spirit! With this, I can spend my Emblem of Frosts on the haste cloth glove instead of the belt!
Back to the Halls of Reflection grind for that LAST upgrade! Hoping the rest of the party are Hunters and Warriors (because then they won't need even for off-spec), and hmm what's a healer that wouldn't want that? Forget it, maybe I'll heal it myself on Turny. Oh no wait then my Warlock won't be able to join hmm....ok maybe a really geared healer who doesn't need it! (Though most likely once the Heart DOES drop I will stop playing my warlock just like when she was looking for the Spectral Kris back in the ToC days)

Truny's Mission: Shriveled Heart
It is sad to say that Truny is looking to replace the first item she ever purchased with Emblems of Heroism x months ago:
The Ward of the Violet Citadel!
Truny was very excited because reading around the interwebs, she knew that this offhand would last her a VERY long time.
And a long time it has been indeed until the introduction of this new offhand which can be obtained through Heroic Halls of Reflection:
The Shriveled Heart
Let us see the net upgrade to be gotten from this item over the Ward.
Stamina: +5 (Awesome!)
Intellect: +/- 0 (Nice, no loss!)
Hit: -38 or -1.45%, make sure to make up for this if you're not hit-capped!
Haste: +50 or +1.52%, haste is a nice for Demonology Warlocks for us to churn out our nukes!
Crit: +26 or about +0.50% Crit, not a big deal since we have such high passive crit but it's a +!
Spellpower: +19. Think of it as a free Runed Scarlet Ruby.
That was the easy part. The hard part is:
1. Finding a group where no one else in the group needs it cause I suck at rolls. Period.
2. Finding a group where the tank doesn't go splat in one second, and end up leaving the party.
3. Actually getting the thing to drop when you are on the correct character at the right time.
One of these days I shall have this ground-breaking 19 spellpower!
