With a +8 spell hit gem and a blue/purple gem, you get a total of +11 with the socket bonus. Now add a +15 spell hit enchant, and you've got +26 hit. The gloves already have +14, so you're looking at up to +40 spell hit from a pair of gloves from the first boss in Kara.
No other item exists for that slot can give you this much spell hit, as far as I know. And it's amazingly easy to get, considering its potential.
As many of you theorycrafters know, spell hit is a crucial raiding stat, and a caster needs 202 to negate resists (Suppression only affects Affliction, not your nukes).
