Should I replace one of my normal items for a flex tier item?

Should I replace one of my normal items for a flex tier item? I'm currently 3/5 tier and items I'm considering replacing is Hood of Swirling Senses and Rime-Rift Shoulders for a tier item to get the 4 set bonus. Should I replace one of them or just wait for a normal token?

Thanks in advance /Anton

Replace the hood with tier hood. As far as normal gear goes, those shoulders are BiS as your off-piece.

 

Assuming destro.

Even tho it's flex?

548 vs 561 is ok to drop down to in order to pick up a set bonus.  Don't drop from 567 or 574 to 548.

Keep the shoulders in your bags the 4p is worth the loss of the stats but you'll want to put the off set shoulders on as soon as you can get the piece you're missing.
