... mainly for thunder/deep thunder/stormherald in PvP, and although haste has been nerfed, the haste proc from drakefist hammer doesn't sound too bad stacked with flurry, abacus trink and windfury. my main focus will be for the 2h weapon, as i pretty much need arena epics to upgrade my gear due to RL conflicts making frequent raiding impossible... if i'm lucky, i can raid once a week. i got called into SSC on short notice the other day, but that ended disasterously when i aggro'd the gf XD i was able to run kara last weekend, but can't continue today due to work.
i've been axesmith for a little while, and though i love the +crit for PvE, with my limited PvP skills it's really only good for a 1400ish arena rating and falls flat on its face once we start running into teams with enough resilience. the extra attack procs on the 2h sword don't have the synergy of the haste procs on the mace 1hander, and that's what i don't like about the BS sword spec.
if you (yes, you!) can talk me out of hammersmith and into swordsmith or staying with axesmith, i'd like to hear your reasons for that spec.
