WeightsWatcher gives you an easy to use way to compare gear based on the actual stats, not just the item level.
Currently, all base stats, gems in non-crafted sockets, and enchants should be handled properly. Also, gems are suggested based on the weights you have enabled. Note that crafted sockets and other "stacking" enchants are not currently handled, because they are not detectable through the WoW API.
All weights can be changed as you see fit, and you can create and enable as many or as few as you would like.
The default stat weights are provided by AskMrRobot.com, with their consent. Everything else the mod does is of our own creation, and does not use the AskMrRobot.com optimization formulas.
Endgame players will probably want to create hit- and/or expertise- capped weights, which is easily done by copying an existing weight and setting the appropriate values to 0.

Known issues:
- Trinkets and meta gems are not currently handled very well. Specifically:
- The special effects on meta gems are not included in the default set of weights (but you can add them yourself)
- "Chance on X" and some use effects on trinkets are not taken into account (these will be marked as unweighted)
- Use effects that increase a stat by a static amount are now handled
- Equip effects that increase a stat by a static amount, stacking up to x times are also handled
- Other, more oddball trinket effects are not handled either (these will be marked as unweighted)
- Similarly, enchants that have procs or other special effects are not handled well. You can weight those enchants manually, however.
Planned (eventual) features:
- Whole-character scoring
- Import/export weights from/to Wowhead and similar sites
- This would have to be limited to the stats that both WW and the site(s) supported, so it would likely be an imperfect translation
- Outfit creation based on a given weight
- Currently best handled by using Outfitter's WeightsWatcher support
- Ideally suggesting changes to gems/enchants
- Handling unique-equipped gems, mutually-exclusive enchants and the like properly
- Suggestions welcome!
