A couple things I have to mention because I feel they are important and were brought up in this thread.
Symphony of Battle - Symphony of Battle, the clicky from Rapier of Somber Notes, has never been considered great because of it's 60% haste. It's percussion modifiable attack buff is why people love it so much. The haste is just a nice bonus.
Heroic Strength - Heroic Strength's effect on dps is minor. 10 points is 1 extra damage per melee hit. A speedfocusing monk with 2 18 delay weapons (as in, the burn situation with the most hits being applied on a single target in the game) will only see about 8-9 dps per 10 points.
Heroic Dexterity - My parses show WAY less than 1% crit rate for 25 h-dex. My parses show closer to about 185-200 h-dex for 1% crit rate for a 90 max aa monk. I have reason to believe, but cannot currently prove, this is based on your current crit rate.
** The following numbers are theoretical, not actual **
Hypothesis - If a monk's crit rate is 9% and a rogue's is 10.5% the rogue would gain more from the same 175 h-dex.
This is what I currently believe, but have had so little time at my actual computer I've had no chance to test it (I also lack another max aa melee character with tons of gear I can switch in and out to modify heroics, but I can work with what I've got)
This is not to say you should or should not focus your gear/aug's on these specific heroics as they all have multiple benefits. I just want people to realize the effects are not going to be dramatic.

, but healing parses are not uncommon in high end raiding guilds. It allows them to see who wasn't pulling their weight. The problem is, the person being healed or the person doing the healing has to report it. Personal tanking parses let you see what the aa's and gear is really doing for you.
