The logic behind using a "slow mainhand" is because the slower weapons generally have a larger damage range, or...a higher damage ceiling. DPS is just a calculation of that range over the weapon's speed, which is why slower weapons tend to do less dps, but higher damage per hit.
The CTS sword has a higher damage ceiling (198 vs. 178) and that's all that you really need to know. Our spells (Sinister Strike, Hemo, etc) are instant-cast...so they will do that weapon damage (plus whatever the spell adds). The fact that it's also a faster sword, in this specific example, is simply a bonus.
No offense but hemmo doesn't work like Sinister Strike. SS is yes, based on wep dmg. For hemmo, wep speed does count a lot. A wep with 180 dmg 2.6 speed is much worse than a wep with 180 dmg and 2.8 speed. I already told the slower wep you have, the better hemmorage deals. That's why Teebu is better than CTS for hemmo. I didn't know about this either few time ago untill I saw some links and explanations about how this works. Maybe you should check it and find out before you judge me
I didn't "judge" you, but yes you are correct. I was thinking of Hemo spec in Burning Crusade...after it received an update so that its damage was normalized. Totally forgot that it was never normalized with Attack Power in the Vanilla days.
