Need help deciding head piece for dps build

[Nordavind]

The question I found it better to answer was: are you able to keep up a rotation that always take advantage of the extra damage from Shriven (or Elder Things).

Mine was no, so I went with Crushed Cities, I don’t have to think about doing anything to make sure the damage is applied.

This by DumbOx made my decision very easy:

@DumbOx

Shriven Souls and Elder Things are alike in that their mechanics require reactive input on the player, under conditions which some DPS builds would struggle to replicate, for what may or may not amount to a fraction of a percent increase in your overall damage per second over Crushed Cities. Elder Things is at most 20% more damage on average, while Shriven Souls is not as equally powerful as Crushed Cities until your Power abilities deal 5.815 damage, or as Elder Things until you deal 6.978 damage.
