the only people who do rbgs are humans for accolades, no humans on horde
Accolades are BiS for horde players as well as anything not human. On my undead Spriest I use the Intellect/Mastery + socket (75 mastery gem) Blue Accolade. If stacking Mastery, I'm pretty sure this item is BiS. The RNG for it is even higher than the Epic which is why you don't see any r1 players using it. However, you do see them using the Blue Accolade w/ no socket.
One thing I've noticed and I'm sure will catch on as the season advances, a lot of European players, for example, use last seasons Ring of Prowess 700iLvl and this seasons Ring of Prowess 710iLvl, so they get both of the secondary stats they want as opposed to using a ring that has one or none beneficial stats! I wouldn't be surprised if you see people running last seasons 700iLvl ring with + socket for BiS
