I traded a 138-def Harlequin Crest for a Heart of the Oak :) The secret to trading is to find the duellists. They ALWAYS pay top dollar for goods, and are often in a huge hurry to barter their wares.

The cost to repair one charge of Oak Sage on my Heart of the Oak is 1174 gp (607 gp to repair one charge of Raven, btw). Your Passion blade is ripping you off.

YES!
The random teleport feature on Occy is greatly reduced with max block. Only magic chuckers will getcha, and only 1/4th of the time. It's easy to manage. Being randomly teleported into a pack of baddies doesn't hurt much with 75% block. It CAN kill you once in a while, but not too often if thou art deft of hotkey.
Show me a Rare orb that has anything close to Occy's stats, and I'll switch in an instant.
