Gear help

When if ever is it ok to use cloth as a substitute for leather? The reason why I ask is because there is no rep gear for the shoulder, wrist and hands slots with spirit on it good for healing. There's none for chest either but I managed to get a robe made for me.
I don't raid much because I'm in a small guild and if I do raid it will be in LFR and want to have the best pre-raiding gear as I can before I attempt that. I can get cloth alternatives from the August Celestials and Golden lotus but I wanted some input as to what other resto druids had to do to get upgrades for these slots. |

No, above level 85, never.
The best pre-raiding gear you can get will be all leather. Even if it's lower ilvl than the cloth you'd have access to. |

Bracers:
 Star Summoner Bracers from Shado-Pan Monastery Belt: the heroic version of what you already have, from Mogushan Palace You already have a high enough ilvl to start doing LFR, though, so what's the problem? |

My clothie healer was able to "cheat" the system cause theres TON of pvp spirit gear which helps immensely starting Heroics. My monk and Druid on the other hand cant find a single piece of spirit pvp gear so it's a "little tougher" to fresh entry a Heroic. Not saying it's hard by any means, but theres FAR less stress on my Holy/Disc priest cause I can stack a lot more spirit and Int

Ok thanks. I just wanted to make sure I was geared enough before I started raiding I didn't want to get into a raid and not keep people alive. I just don't understand why there is no leather with spirit for gloves shoulders and bracers. I totally forgot about the 5% int bonus for leather thanks.
