Next step in armor

Now that I have my spiritshadow armor, is frozen the next logical step? The reason I ask is I will lose the 60 focus gained by wearing the four pieces I have. Maybe I'm looking at frozen wrong, but I don't think the extra energy provided by frozen will cancel out the loss in focus and I'm not sure how much of a difference the extra armor and evades will be. Does every druid automatically get frozen for your build as you progress? Or is there a different way of looking at it so that I can maximize the amount of focus I get from the various armors since focus has the most impact on our skills. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I went from shadow to wyrm to beast to dragonlord.
For me, I liked the easions more than the focus.

So you skipped frozen entirely? I'm relatively new to the game and everyone in my clan keeps saying how important it is to get frozen. Although after having spiritshadow armor, I am starting to see that there are other armors out there that may be more suited to a druid. When can you get wyrm armor? I Don't think I've ever heard of it.

It depends what your clan is like.
As a lvl 120 I often help my clan with bosses such as bolg snorri and despoiler. In my case I need to use cosmic or frozen just to survive the aoe.
Some clans however have plenty of high lvl druids so lower lvls don't need to help. In which case I advise using spirit and get frozen just to have it. Appropriate lvl bosses won't kill you with chaos aoe.

Also I highly highly advise learning bosses aoe range and area of effect.
If you learn the moves and how to dodge them you can go almost full focus because the powerful aoe attacks give you a few seconds warning.

I have frozen armor, it's been sitting in my bank collecting dust. The frozen for males is so ridiculously hideous and silly looking.

Thanks for all the replies. Keep your opinions flowing in. I love this type of bouncing around opinions and reasonings behind ones choices. I don't foresee myself becoming full focus. I enjoy my hybrid status right now because I can heal reasonably well and am capable of soloing or assisting for xp. At the moment I'm too low to even be thinking of assisting on aggy at the moment. Right now just enjoying being able to assist on other bosses by healing and throwing the occasional howling winds or strangling vines attack.

Wow. I guess my current clan just hasn't attempted aggy yet. Side tracking back to armor. Where is the quest for wyrm bone armor picked up at? I checked Bitey's site, and she only has the quest for beastbone/ancient beastbone.
