Trinkets
Skardyn's Grace and Mad Queen's Mandate is currently the best combination of Trinkets. Both are farmable from Mythic+ dungeons. Alternatively, you can pick up Ara-Kara Sacbrood, or Empowering Crystal of Anub'ikkaj from Mythic+ as well.
Raid Trinkets are generally not the best, but if you come across one of those, feel free to pick them up:
There are also some decent Trinkets from Delves, those are going to be especially good early on in the expansion:
Embellishments
We want two pieces of gear with the Dawnthread Lining Embellishment, which increases critical strike rating when above 80% HP.
The best slots for our crafted pieces are Wrists and Hands, due to their lower stat budget and bad alternatives.
Alternatively, you could Craft a P.0.W. x2 with Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension, which increases a random secondary stat, every 8 seconds you remain in combat. Pair this embellishment with a pair of crafted Glyph-Etched Gauntlets with Writhing Armor Banding to double up the Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension value of your weapon.
Cyrce’s Circlet
Since the Item level of this ring is so high, it will always be worth using it up until the next Raid Tier.
The gems you want to put in are:
For pure single target encounters you want to switch out Stormbringer's Runed Citrine for Thunderlord's Crackling Citrine.
