If you’ve decided to learn Tailoring, you can use Gneuro-Linked Arcano-Filament Monocle instead of Reflective Truesilver Braincage. Gneuro-Linked Arcano-Filament Monocle has more mana regeneration and helps in times when you need burst healing. This is especially helpful at the beginning of a raid tier. In the long run Reflective Truesilver Braincage might be more valuable, especially if you’re doing PvP or some niche scenarios in PvE. In the end, it’s a personal preference.
