Data Miners from MMO Champion and WoWhead have released their loot list for the upcoming Heroics for 4.1. Featuring all epics at ilvl 353 (which is 4 ilvl lower than current raid content), Blizzard seems determined to deck us all out in epics from helmet to boots to ranged weapon slot.

First Look will first feature loots for DPS Deathknights followed by a second post detailing Mail loots for Hunters. More loots will certainly be found and the list will be updated accordingly and the post marked by and *UPDATE*

Weapons

Reforged Trollbane: While the blue socket is meh, a healthy dose of Hit and Mastery is always welcomed for Deathknight 2H specs of all kind.

Jeklik's Smasher: An "ok" 2H sword if you don't need the hit from the Trollbane since Crit is pretty lackluster compared to Mastery and Haste. Unless you're a Blood Deathknight.

Bloodlord's Protector: Don't even think about it.

Renataki's Soul Slicer: A wonderful weapon for DW Frost. Expertise and Mastery are our strongest stats.

Zulian Slasher: If you're lucky enough, go with double RSS. Hit and Crit makes this sword pretty lacking compared to the former.

Helmet

Roaring Mask of Bethekk: The presence of haste makes this helmet useful for only Frost 2H and Unholy. Why Blizz?!

Neck - Nothing currently

Shoulder - Nothing currently.

Chest

Chestplate of Hubris: Again, Haste on this effectively locks DW Frost out of 2 loots. Go with the craftable epic instead.

Back

Hex Lord's Bloody Cloak: With Haste showing up yet again, I'm starting to think who ever put the stats on these are ignorant of Blizz's goal to feature loot for everyone.

Wrist

Deathcharged Wristguard: Pretty decent loot for all specs after the Haste favoring of the previous three.

Hands

Plunderer's Gaunlets: Another Haste Hands. Seriously.

Belt: Nothing currently

Pants: Nothing currently

Feet

Skullcrusher Warboots: Hit and Mastery makes this a decent piece of gear for everyone.

Ring

Ring of the numberless brood: Haste again.

While everyone will no doubt choose to wear 4.1 epics due to higher STR ratings, the proliferation of Haste makes it pretty crappy for Frost DW and from what I gathered, Retdins as well. Since it's still in the PTR, I hope Blizz can switch some of the Haste to other stats to make the gears more attractive to other plate wearers as well.

As of now, only shoulder is missing an epic slot, either from Heroic or Reputations. Only a healing shoulder is datamined so perhaps we'll see more loot surfacing in the coming weeks.
