Farmin dat rep

Ashen Band of Endless Destruction
Epic
Binds when picked up
Unique
Finger
+73 Stamina
+73 Intellect
Yellow Socket
Item Level 277
Equip: Improves hit rating by 51.
Equip: Increases spell power by 101.
Equip: Improves haste rating by 64.
Your offensive spells have a chance on hit to increase your spell power by 285 for 10 sec.

Needless to say, you're looking at the best in slot ring for pvp in 3.3/season 8. Totally aside from being 51 ilvls above the worse of the two available pvp rings (Furious or Titan-forged), hit/haste/sp (and a socket!) is pretty much perfect itemisation only seen on one other ring this expansion, and you'll certainly never see it from pvp.

Given blizzards penchant for only offering one pvp ring per season, along with keeping the offset lower ilvl than pve equivalents, and the high probability next season ring is a crit one, getting this should already be a no-brainer. But the proc is what makes it. This ring can basically be seen as the new reign of the dead, any mage with it is going to have considerably more burst potential than one without it (regardless of what other ring they use), and burst is what wins games.

Oh yeah, one last thing? All this takes is rep, and you can get rep from just farming trash in the icecrown raid. It'll definitely take a bit of farming, but if you can get a few friends in a similar situation to you to come with you, you should be able to get this after a while. There is no excuse for any pvp mage NOT to be using this thing by halfway through the next season.
