Commentary:

There are lots of necks available at this time.  Although strength based necks are generally best in slot, you should always consider non-strength based ones.  Especially at intermediate levels and especially when juggling the hit cap.

Lana’thel’s Chain of Flagellation is a good option from 25 man, as is the Infected Choker from 10 man (though its expertise based, so you need to think about this in terms of your expertise cap.  The Ahn’kahar Onyx Neckguard and Wodin’s Lucky Necklace provide solid hit based options.  Wodin’s Lucky Necklace can drop from both 10 and 25 man trash (I’ve seen it) and can drop from the weekly quest reward bag in ICC.

If you don’t raid, the Barbed Ymirheim Choker is available from Heroic Pit of Saron, or the Painfully Sharp Choker from Normal Pit of Saron.  To help you reach the hit cap, the Spiked Battleguard Choker is still worth considering.
