You're right that a good Pawn scale does take talents into account. I should have said that if your talents differ from those of the build the Pawn scale was made for you will have to take that into account and adjust the scale accordingly.

I use it almost entirely for leveling up in the higher levels, where stats weights don't change much and admittedly a little in the entry raids. Anyway, the only problem with above post is that for the scales to be worth using--they must be kept up to date. You mention that they do not take into accounts talents and raid buffs, but a good pawn sheet does. That is much of the reason why your sheets need to be updated from time to time, just because things change. Of course, the most useful in AEP values you can ever find, used to be the Enhancement simulator, though I don't think it has been updated in a long time. It would take all your stats and figure out for what you had right THEN what values were worth. There are a few that do that, and a few that are updated. I recently happened across a spreadsheet that is said to do that for Hunters, though I haven't had need of it as my hunter has been collecting rested for the last few months. http://elitistjerks.com/f74/t30710-wotlk_dps_spreadsheet/ Useful, especally in the sense that one can use it as a on-the-fly way to decide.
