Enchants

What the Protection Warriors above put on the gear above, slot by slot. An enchant counts once per character however many of a slot they wear it on, so both rings together are one — which is why a card can total less than the gear card above it.

Gems and embellishments

One list each rather than one per slot: the same gem goes wherever a Protection Warrior has a socket. An embellishment is named by itself rather than by the piece it was crafted onto, because a dozen pieces carry the same one. Both count a character once however many they wear it on. Point at a row for what it grants.

purge is the head of World of Warcraft's PvP ladder, rebuilt from Blizzard's own data.

Cut
The top 50 of every specialization, EU and US merged into one list by rating.
Updated
Every few hours — last crawl .
Source
Blizzard's Game Data API, off the profiles of live characters. Nothing here is entered by hand.
Caveat
This is whatever a character was wearing when it was read, so nothing filters out someone who logged out in their PvE gear.
