This is important:

ALWAYS. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS have a slow main hander when DWing. No matter what class, race, spec, or WHATEVER you are, ALWAYS have a slow main hand while DWing. The reason for this is that one of your main dmging attacks (Heroic Strike) Deals ALOT more DPR (damage per rage) on slow weapons. Not only that, but you get to see very pretty numbers when you hit.

There are other reasons too, but I'm too tired to think of them right now.

Point remains, best speed for Main hands (assuming equal dps) is 2.70-2.90, and best speed for offhands is 2.0-2.4 (For a good balance between whirlwind craziness and rage management)


Also, a tip for you:

Sweeping Strikes+Cleave=double damaging cleave

Sweeping Strikes+Whirlwind= 0.o... wow... pretty numbers...

(point of story, if facing more than one enemy, use sweeping strikes. It's possible to get 3000+ dps (more than warlock with Seed of Corruption) well geared, at, 70 vs 3 enemies)
