Spell Power vs Spell Lore

[Amroth]

In the new (U32) crafting system, I can have the following choices. Which would be better, and why?

NOTE: I run as a Art(1)/Loc(9)/xxxx(10), with GOO and Utterdark.

EQUIPMENT   PREFIX      SUFFIX          EXTRA(ML10)
=========   ======      ======          ===========
Glove       ~~~~        Potency         ~~~~
Weapon 1    Corrosion   INS Corrosion   (open)
Weapon 2    Radiance    INS Radiance    (open)

        == VS ==

Glove       ~~~~        Spell Lore      ~~~~
Weapon 1    Corrosion   Acid Lore       (open)
Weapon 2    Radiance    Radiance Lore   (open)

At Level 20, I'd have:

        Power   Critical
        =====   ========
Acid    111+73  -0-
Light   111+73  -0-

        == VS ==

Acid    111     16+8
Light   111     16+8

Additionally I'd of course have Spellsight, Evocation Focus, and Spell Focus Mastery on other equipment.

I'm a casual player and like to remain in Heroic (elite). I like my TR framework and I love playing my Art(1)/Loc(9)/xxxx(10) toon. What I would like to do now is work on fine-tuning my equipment. I prefer crafted to named, so here is what I came up with.

I wouldn't able to you which is better without knowing your existing spellpower and crit chance.

To determine whether or not to go with Insightful Spell Power or Crit chance, you'll have to do some simple math.

average_damage * SP_mod * ( 1 - crit_chance )
+
average_damage * SP_mod * crit_mod * crit_chance
=
total_average_damage

You don't actually need average damage, just leave that as X. Remember your Metamagic SP and the "base" 100 SP.

Generally, in heroics:
- If it's a SLA where you can apply metamagics for free, you get enough spell power from metas, get LORE
- If it's a spell which you are going to cast without max/emp, get spell power first
