Stats mod for choosing gear: Weightswatcher

I've used several stats mods to try to help me decide on upgrades when loot drops and I like this the best. It uses the Weighting system from WoWhead. You can find it here: http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info15289-WeightsWatcher.html
For a warrior it watches stats for protection and dps, for a death knight: tanking and then dps for the various trees. I'm not sure how it categorizes specs for other classes.
I had used stat score but the dps weights were for fury spec and not arms, so meh. It was also about 6mos since last update.



RhadaTip
I use Rhada Tip in the same way for DPS gear. Don't know if it would function for tank stuff, but it takes Simcraft Stat weights and considers what percent hit you need as well. You're probably familiar with Simcraft if you've ever played a Warlock, but anywhere you can get stat weights from, those stat weights can be plugged in to Rhada Tip. If you have a spec RT recognizes, it has default stat weights if you aren't in to caculating them for yourself. I use ot for my mage and warlock extensively. I think RT may do a better job of handling trinkets from looking at the link above.
Support for it is at http://wowmb.net/forums/f22/36958-rhadatip_gear_gem_optimizer/, but you can download it from the usual suspects, Curse and WowInterface.
