Hi
with your test setup and 2,5s or slower weapon i must agree with you.
WF/WF is the best setup.

But what happeneds if you put in lava lash on CD also with glyph of lava lash equiped and try with WF/FT.
+ Add EC and instant LB´s on CD also, maby even add Static chock + imp Lightning shield togather with Concussion and elemental fury talents.

I´m rally crappy at testing things out, but from my experience i find that with the 35% damage bonus on lava lash + the extra spellpower from FT weapon i get an overall higher damage output thanks to the boost on lava lash earth chock instant LB´s and orb hits.

Not sure what builds you are running but this is what i find the best DPS setup “http://thottbot.com/shaman/t#EUg1/gFYFz.YTj3″.

If you have the chanse i´d love to se a damage calculation on that build.

Chuck and Tantra: good ideas. mixing imbues will not increase dps over dual WF. Prove me wrong! run a test or two and show me.

I’ll try to test it out too, but I need to stop having fun now.

Great site. I was looking for some information on this because I also have been told that double wf is the best, then i was told that wf/ft was the best. I currently use two weapons with a speed of 2.80. I believe that with these weapons wf/wf would be my best bet. Can anyone confirm this or even offer further information?

Thanks.

This will depend on the weapons you have equiped. The patch change to put both windfury buffs on the same timer means that if your offhand is too fast and a bit crap (like mine is atm) then it will probably rob windfury procs off your main weapon (as the faster offhand has more chance to hit before the main hand when windfury timer expires) , and in this respect it would probably be better to use rockbiter on the offhand.

@Pyung: No. I didn’t see a lower proc rate for the combined WF/WF setup. Will perform another long 10 minute test to see if I need to correct this.

Maybe I’m being silly, but…doesn’t the wf/wf setup have a lower average windfury damage because of the offhand procs? Rockbiter doesn’t actually add damage to your windfury.
