My raid leader is still running onyx annulet as a restoration druid and it seems to be very effective (doing approx. 10% of his total healing output (8.8k hps)). Is using annulet still viable for certain healing specs? Would it be worth re-evaluating the value of onyx annulet to other rings?
We still have it ranked, so if it is worth using over your other gear the optimizer should pick it.
If you look at the secondary stats on a current tier ring, as a very rough ballpark it will give you a minimum of about a 8% increase to your output, closer to 10% minimum at higher ilvls, and then when you take into account the multiplicative nature of secondary stats, it is likely higher.
The difference is that you don’t “see” secondary stats as a line in the combat log – with the annulet the proc effects are all measurable healing/shielding instances, but it really isn’t outperforming a ring with your two best secondary stats on it.
I’ve seen this issue on several characters. Best in Bags recommends the Onyx Annulet even though it would net dps loss. Here’s the character info:

@wingram I would need a snapshot to test your case, not a screenshot or import string. My best guess without being able to try it: you have the annulet locked in that screenshot – you are forcing the optimizer to pick it even if it scores worse.
Sorry, I did have it locked for some reason. It works now.
