Questions about fc bears

I can't seem to decide between a few pieces of eq on my druid and the guides are no help. One is unreadable and the other needs a serious update.

Shield: Stormshield vs Spirit
While stormshield gives 35% dr, +30 str and ok res, spirit gives +2 skills, res, +mana and 55% fhr. Neither of which are something to snear at. Blocking on a ss is ok but blocking on a spirit monarch is never going to happen.

Armor: Rain vs Stone
High def vs +2 skills I'm thinking a rain kraken shell if I use ss or a rain archon plate if I use spirit.

Belt: Verdungos vs Comparable belts
Are there any belts better then verdungos for this? I can't help but feel I'm forgetting some belts that would do quite nicely here.

first what are you planning pvp or pvm

if pvp
without max damage reduction and blocking you genarally get eaten alive by malee fighters unless you got a range 5 weapon.(tomb reaver) and i guess stone would be better for the defense 2 skillz wont do much id go with coh or enigma personally for skillz.

Acctualy it makes a fairly large difference and I'd use coh if it was available but I don't have a ber. Truth be told, it would surprise me if anyone has a completely legit coh on ladder.
