Trinkets
Skardyn's Grace and Mad Queen's Mandate is currently the best combination of Trinkets. Both are farmable from Mythic+ dungeons. Alternatively, you can pick up Ara-Kara Sacbrood, or Empowering Crystal of Anub'ikkaj from Mythic+ as well.
Raid Trinkets are generally not the best, but if you come across one of those, feel free to pick them up:
There are also some decent Trinkets from Delves, those are going to be especially good early on in the expansion:
Embellishments
We want two pieces of gear with the Dawnthread Lining Embellishment, which increases critical strike rating when above 80% HP.
The best slots for our crafted pieces are Wrists and Hands, due to their lower stat budget and bad alternatives.
Alternatively, you could Craft a P.0.W. x2 with Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension, which increases a random secondary stat, every 8 seconds you remain in combat. Pair this embellishment with a pair of crafted Glyph-Etched Gauntlets with Writhing Armor Banding to double up the Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension value of your weapon.
