Why does this mentality always change when players start into heroics?
There is actually a perfect example this raiding tier, and I did it the same way that everyone else did. Atramedes drops a helm,
wow gold of the Blind Seer, that all in all isn't really that great for balance druids. It's a spirit crit helm; most of us favor our tier helm, which has haste and crit, instead. And that's good -- the tier helm is better.
Here is the flaw, however: Getting your heroic tier helm requires that you kill Neferian. How many guilds are currently regularly downing heroic Nef? And now how many guilds are regularly downing heroic Atramedes? Exactly the point.
Using the heroic Helm of the Blind Seer is actually an upgrade over using the normal mode tier helm. Yes, you do have to give up some measure of haste, but the overall increased itemization yields higher DPS all the same. There honestly isn't any reason not to use the helm, yet virtually no one does. Why?

Because it isn't a direct upgrade. When going from regular to heroic, people always look for the direct upgrades. If you're wearing your normal tier gloves, then you want to replace them with your heroic tier gloves. Seems only logical, and it's what everyone does, yet doing so causes guilds to pass up vast amounts of upgrades that could legitimately help them down the rest of the heroic content.
Don't forsake an item just because it isn't BIS. Seriously, there isn't any issue of "settling" here. It isn't a crime to use non-perfect gearing from time to time, because it is an upgrade for you. If another player is going to give you trouble over doing the absolute most that you can to keep yourself optimized for the content you are doing, I don't see how this is a terrible thing.
Gear needs evolve with raid encounters
Gearing should change as encounters change. This will probably be a little bit less true in the next patch after the Lunar Shower
cheap wow gold -- assuming Blizzard even keeps it, but who knows on that front -- but which is the most optimal gear setup can change slightly depending on the encounter in question.
