I'm a little confused...
While in general I like this addon, there are some things I don't understand in the way it rates gear. Rather than go into a whole list however, let me use one example. I have equipped on my 59 hunter Drakesfire Epaulets :
item level 61 270 Armor +14 Intellect +5 Stamina +15 Spirit +10 Fire Resistance This piece rates at 0.88, which seems a bit low compared to the other rare gear I have equipped. The thing that REALLY has me puzzled though is, I got Piccolo of the Flaming Fire recently as a drop and equipped it to have a laugh with it. In case you're not familiar with it, here's what it does : Trinket Requires Level 53 Item Level 58 Use: Causes nearby players to dance. That's it. No stats, no "use" that in anyway is beneficial in PvE or PvP. Its rating? 3.00. Compare that with Devilsaur Tooth : Trinket +5 Agility Item Level 52 Use: Increases your pet's attack power by 200 for 20 sec. This rates at 0.19. Six level item difference aside, does this seem a little strange to anyone else? Believe me, I'm not trying to criticize, I've done a little bit of code here and there, although I'm honestly just a dabbler, but enough to know that things can come out different from what's expected no matter how carefully you work it out. The only reason I'm even posting this is my guild has had a couple of issues with people getting booted from dungeon groups because their GearGauge score wasn't high enough, even though they'd been through said dungeon several times and always performed well. Obviously, this is no fault of your's, people just seem to be relying on it too much at times I've also noticed from time to time a weapon with seemingly superior stats and DPS will have a lower rating than a seemingly inferior one. Same with armor pieces. So, although I use the addon and enjoy it, it seems to need a little tweaking yet .

Re: I'm a little confused...
The difference from the Piccolo and the Drakesfire Epaulets may be rarity, though I agree that the scoring difference seems a bit extreme and I'll look into that. As for the Devilsaur Tooth - all that is being looked at is the +5 agility, the item level in comparison to yours, and its rarity. The bit about your pet isn't even considered.
