Hello!
I came back to WoW a month'ish ago after playing MoP for the first few weeks post launch.
I would like to know how to spend my VPs please : ). I'm still unsure on how to go about spending on VPs, On upgrades or spend them on items instead.
This is my character. What should I get next?
Thanks in Advance : )

Some random remarks:
You dont seem to be raiding normals. Do you plan to?
Your wrist and top ring are unechanted.
Your glyph and talent choice is somewhat odd.
You are 2% under hit cap and 1% under expertise cap. I suggest you get
ReforgeLite - to fix you reforging.
Typically when you want to plan your VP you count biggest dps gain per VP spent. You dont have many options for 522 upgrades because your Shado pan assualt rep is only at honored. Currently you have a
Longshot Forestcloak Flanker's Battletags and
Seal of the Shado-Pan Assault available. You already bought the ring and neck is only 6 ilvl gain for 1250 ilvl (and not the best itemisation either). Of these items cloak seems to be a good idea. 20 ilvl gain for 1250 VP, which is exact as much as if you'd upgrade some items 5 times, but since you arent raiding normals, only better option - from Ji-Kun normal (you have LFR version) is closed for you (Horridon cloak is ok too but the itemisation isnt that great).
Now for the ilvl 496 rep gear. Only possible option is the trinket:
Arrowflight Medallion, but imo its not worth its cost in VP atm. Better if you could check your AH for
Relic of Xuen or just keep running LFR Toes and ToT for an upgrade in that slot (the DMC trinket even though its ilvl isnt good is overbudget by a lot).
TL:DR:
1. Buy a cloak.
2. If you plan to raid in the future dont spend your VP right away, have a 500 VP ready for when you get an upgrade (tier piece or something). If you dont plan to raid normals just upgrade all your 522 gear while running LFR.
3. Once you get your SH-P rep to revered your best bet is the belt, as possible alternatives drop from Oondasta, Durumu and trash on normals.

Just to make sure we're both thinking of the same belt, It's
Nightflight Chain right?
Because it's not requiring revered status as you mentioned but Friendly instead. Just want to make sure that's the very belt you recommended and not something else Zak?

Yes this belt.
I blame maxdps.
Nightflight Chain (0/2)
1750 Valor Points (Requires Shado-Pan Assault - Revered)
I'd prolly be still using it if not for thunderforged zone drop.
In other words. Buy the belt once you upgrade all your 522 gear, 1750 vp for 20 ilvl is a little bit worse investment than upgrading.
