Restoration Druid Stat Priority
Mastery > Haste > Versatility > Critical Strike
You should then be focusing on Mastery as your primary stat. With talents like Grove Tending, Cultivation and especially Harmonious Blooming, the value of Mastery is incredibly high. These all directly make your Mastery stronger.
After this, we highly recommend getting around 20% Haste to make the game feel a bit more fluid with your GCD and for casting Regrowth and Cyclone. It should be noted that Lycara’s Teachings provides 6% haste while in caster form when fully talented and this should be counted towards the stat total when gearing.

Best Restoration Druid Trinkets
Insignia of Alacrity / Gladiator’s Emblem
Gladiator’s Medallion
Your trinket options are fairly straight-forward. You are basically locked into playing with the Medallion, as it is mandatory in PvP. As for what to pair with Gladiator’s Medallion, your default pick is Insignia of Alacrity and will be used in almost every matchup. You can however play with Gladiator’s Emblem in situations where you could be the kill target, since it offers an additional defensive cooldown. It also increases your healing with Frenzied Regeneration, since it scales with your max HP.
