Shamwowi was talking about his mainly solo-built shaman, for which specific purpose the vindicator ear is indeed a reasonable choice. 10 AC is better in that slot than 30 HP when a character that isn't getting complete heals and seldom reaches full health once engaged in combat. He can kill anything Torpor can out-heal, and more raw HP isn't helping Torpor out-heal anything. Since this is a shadow knight thread that's a tangent discussion, though.
Since I don't care for raiding my own ear slot items on my Shadow Knight are an Ivandyr's Hoop and (usually) a Shrunken Goblin ear. Laugh all you want but my character has sufficed for duo'ing practically all the group content in this game and I've been to the same temple veeshan raids everyone else has. I obviously don't call that type of stuff "best" but I do call it "good enough."
