Since my warlock will obviously benefit more from the Frozen Shadoweave gear than the others, it's an easy choice to pick Shadowcloth specialisation. Grinding to 350 skill was tough, but with helping others in the crafting of a few Imbued Netherweave Bags, and some extra bits of gear, I got there.
Of course, the quest to gain specialisation requires you to go to the Altar of Shadows in Shadowmoon Valley, a lvl 70ish area. I figured on starting to gather the mats early so I set out there. After a couple of wrong turns, getting a bit lost and dying a couple of times, I found the Altar and it was great to see that the choice of Scryer was a big help, since the nearest flight path, at the Sanctum of the Sun, is a Scryer-only city.
On making my first Shadowcloth, it was a nice pleasent surprise to get a nice buff of +25 stamina for one hour. I could farm the mats for Primal Mooncloth but I decided to hold on that, since I intend to grind my retired Shaman's tailoring to 350, specialise in Mooncloth and camp him at a Moonwell. Anyway, I need 32 Shadowcloth (4 for the shoulders, 8 for the boots, 14 for the vest and 6 for the soul bag), so at least I'm making a start on that.
To round out my other gear, there is a choice of Spellstrike (Hood and Pants) or Battlecast (Hood and Pants). The problem of the pants is that both are worse off to my Fel Infused Leggings. The set bonus is nice, but not THAT nice (especially for Battlecast). Likelihood is that I'll make the Spellstrike Hood, and leave it at that. But that would also mean another 10 Spellcloth and other Primal craziness to gather.
Of course, the other alternative is the Voidheart Crown and Gloves (need 2 pieces for the set bonus, and the other slots, Chest, Pants and Shoulders, are taken). The Gloves looks like a shoo-in without competition, but it's a pretty close call between the Voidheart Crown and Spellstrike Hood. Well, I guess I'll cross that bridge when I get there.
