Lionheart Greaves vs. Lunar Boots

I'm kinda debating between these two:

and

http://www.pwdatabase.com/pwi/items/20275

The Lionheart greaves give HP +90, Str +9, Dex +8-9, Vit +15 (Lionheart's power (4), because I'm planning to get Lionheart plate, legs, and wrist).

The Lunar boots give HP +180, Str +10, Critical Rate +3%.

Translating the Vit into HP, Lionheart gives a total of 90+225 = 315 HP. While Lunar only gives 180 HP. However, Lunar boots is grade 14 and therefore will give much higher HP per refine compared to Lionheart greaves, which is grade 12. But I'm not sure whether the extra HP from refining is able to offset the 135 HP loss. Then again, Lunar boots also give critical rate +3%.

Any thoughts?

EDIT: Forgot to mention about sockets. I would probably 4 sockets Lionheart since it only costs 2k socket stones from 3 sockets to 4 sockets. For Lunar, it's gonna be either 2 or 3 sockets depending on my luck. 4 sockets seem to be very unlikely. Fyi, it costs 6k socket stone to socket grade 14 from 2 sockets to 3 sockets and 12k from 3 sockets to 4 sockets. I'm also planning to imbue the 10 vit stones on them.

    depends entirely on what weapon you use and how you play your character.

    are you support? stun and aoe on groups of people? do you use axes? lionheart.

    are you more offensive using swords or spears(agi builds)? heaven rage.

    ^those aren't lunar btw.

    personally I dunno what I would use for my BM, but lionheart greaves is definately more for tankers, I would probably use the LVL95 set for my BM. It is up to you imo. If you want more crit the go for lunar boots. If you want more HP (also that extra DEX too for extra crit if you need 8 DEX more), go for lionheart greaves.

    If you are planning to get all the bonus's offered by the Gold armor the answer is obviously Gold Armor Boots.

    Me, I don't plan on doing so and would take the 3% crit.....

    hmmm hard choice... do u know if u u get 4 out of the 6 if u still get the -0.05 attack speed? if u get that still i'd say go for all gold, if u dont, defo the lunar, u get 3% crit, not as much hp but the rank of the armor will make that up. but then again socket... just dpeends if ur willing to spend that sorta cash to get it. but if i was you, i'd got for lunar b:victory have fun choosing

    2 pieces = -.05 interval
    4 pieces = -.05 interval, 15 con
    6 pieces = -.05 interval, 15 con, +3% crit

    I'm a DEX build with both GX and Dance of Universe. After thinking about it, I'm leaning towards the Lunar Boots (I know they're not lunar, but I don't like typing the full name. Since they come from the event, might as well call them lunar b:laugh). The Lunar boots are also considerably cheaper...
