Not a big upgrade over Barbed Choker and Prestor's for Hunters/Rogues but still a bit better.
Ok.
And now compare the effort to kill Kel'Thuzad compared to Nefarian or Fankriss. No comparison at all. That's the point, it SHOULD have been better, considering its item level and the challenge to actually meet the final boss in Naxx.
For a hunter with around 1400 unbuffed RAP this necklace offers about 106 RAP (1% crit amounts to about 40 RAP at that level of RAP)while Prestor's has about 80, so it is an upgrade. With the hunter revamp coming, this necklace will be even better since 1 agi= 1 RAP instead of the current 2.

1% crit being significantly better than 1% hit for dps (for anyone over 5% hit, which is every rogue), this clearly outdpses Prestor's. Additionally it has stamina. This is the best rogue neck in the game, easily.
hiarcs Scholar, what are you basing that on? for duel weilding chance to hit does not max out till 24% and even main hand can use more then 5%. Ever occure to you that Math is better then your assumptions?
and stuc, we know that PT does not give a crit, but the 30 agility is a little more then a crit for a rogue.
I also question whether or not this thing is really better for feral druids then PT. For a druid 30 agility in cat is 30 AP and 1.5% to crit if I'm not misstaken, and the hit easily makes up for the remaining .5% to crit and then some because ferals have a poor selection of +hit gear.
Yeah, with my current loot this is pretty much the same thing as Nef neck, except for the stamina. I wouldn't mind passing the first few to other classes.
Should be pretty good for MM hunters though.

Nice Neck and I do not think for melee their is anything better. Now for Hybrids it is still great but not the best for PvE, PvP this is great for anyone that swings or fires a weapon.

Kidding, of course.

Prestors has 30 AP, 1% crit, 1% hit.
This has 26 AP, 2% crit
1% crit being significantly better than 1% hit for dps (for anyone over 5% hit, which is every rogue), this clearly outdpses Prestor's. Additionally it has stamina. This is the best rogue neck in the game, easily.
And for dps (not burstdmg), +hit is equal to +crit, though +hit is more important as more than 50% of a raiding-rogue's dmg is based on white-dmg.

1% crit vs 18 ap and 2 stamina
This vs Prestor's Talisman of Connivery for a MM Hunter:
~1.5% crit and 12 stamina, vs 34 ap and 1% hit
This vs Prestor's Talisman of Connivery for a LR Hunter:
~1.35% crit and 12 stamina, vs 43 ap and 1% hit
I dont see any big upgrades :S
