At that point I decided to get full pvp gear with trinkets and everything, blah blah, I was able to set up a test of 182 pvp power vs 184 str.
182 pvp power beat 184 str by about 150 per hit, 3.75 average vs 3.6 average.
So, it's already worth gemming power over stats.
Further, in MoP, secondary stat gems get twice as much as core stats... i.e. 160 str vs 320 pvp power, resil, hit, whatever.
So there will be absolutely no comparison then, power all the way, fuck socket bonuses.
