Okay, I would ask Elitist Jerks, but I'm muted for a day and figured I would ask here.
( Please only nerds =)

So, I'm a feral druid kitty. I have no problems with anything else, top of the dps charts all that jazz. But I have a question.
I have the staff : Distant Land, It's a great feral staff and has 2 sockets in it.
Now as a feral I have the talent : Predatory Strikes 3/3
Increases your melee attack power in Cat, Bear and Dire Bear Forms by 150% of your level and 20% of any attack power on your equipped weapon. In addition, your finishing moves have a 20% chance per combo point to make your next Nature spell with a base casting time less than 10 sec. become an instant cast spell.

Let's say I put 2x 40 Attack Power gems into that, or 2x 68 Attack Power gems in the staff ( JC gems ) would the game recognize the extra attack power in the staff and increase the attack power due to the talent? And if so, is it a better investment than putting Agility gems/ Arp ( Although assuming I'm hard capped on Arp )?
No one probably has a answer, I will probably have to wait for Elitist Jerks to let me post lawl. I could test this out in-game, but before I spend a few hundred gold I just wanna be sure.
Edit: Or someone can post this on Elitist Jerks Druid forum for me? I just made an account today to ask the question that's why I can't post yet.
