Default What first, crit, +spell, casting, reuse....?

So im playing my first caster as a Warlock since my return after a 1.5yr break, just hit 73 and as i start running some TSO instances to gear up for raids would like to know what stats to focus on first... I have read the Wizard thread on DPS and it makes sense, but i never found a suggestion on whats the best order to focus.

So without raids theres pretty much:
-intel
-crit
-crit bonus
-+spell damage
-+base damage (hard to find on non raid gear)
-reuse
-casting

My first thought is Intel + crit, then spell damage, followed by casting/reuse. (increase base damage would top all im guessing but dont expect to see a lot)

I went down strength first, for spell crits then Agi. This is just what I did. not saying its right or wrong.
You don't really have to worry about int, since base stats are such a minimal factor in our class.

You only get 14.4% with 8 points, which helps but isnt a game breaker.
Plus quest mobs even with mastercrafted gear don't last very long.

But like I said, I'm not claiming to be right!

Base dmg > Casting > crit chance > crit mod > reuse > spell dmg > intel

Generally speaking

intel and crit chance for high end players is ignored most of the time because we sit at cap w/o bothering to go for it.

Damage procs all depend on procs per min and amount of dmg done.

Default GEAR: What first, crit, +spell, casting, reuse....?

Im referring to gear, not AAs. AAs are easy because theres really a cookie cutter approach once you have 200 AA. Im referring to gear and how i should dress pre-raid gear.

Well pre raid gear you're just gonna have to stick with crit gear since that is all there really is, most base comes from raids.

I have found I do more DPS wearing LootDB.com | EverQuest II Item Database - Crimson Robe of Alendine on average, about 400 to 600 more then when wearing my T-2 Chest piece. Just throwing it out there since I haven't seen it mentioned, it's lvl 70 and easy to get.
