This post is specifically directed to the more brainy of y'all.
Could somebody please help me out with some Math (I'll resist the urge to use the term "Maths", seeing as though the majority of you are from the US ;->), which will detail the differences between 3 Enchants.
Potency
Mongoose
Executioner
I am trying to decided whether it's actually worth the cost going for the 2 (much) more expensive (Mon and Exe) enchants, or if the flat increase of 40 AP is acceptable vs the proc based enchants.
Let's, for the sake of simplicity, Assume 2000AP (without any enchants), 30% crit, 150 hit ... and ... 5/5 DW spec, 3/3 Precision, 2/2 WM.
I know there are a fair number of you (RPZ, Devious, Xordon, etc) who absolutely relish any kind of theorycrafting involving numbers, so I wait with unabated anticipation ;->

It's not really a question of gear quality when you're making the enchant choice.
Executioner is the best MH enchant, period. If you're short on money (or the gear isn't that great/won't use it that long) put Potency on the OH. If you want maximum results, go with Executioner/Mongoose. If you want to save money, go with Executioner/Potency.

Thanks RP, I've just noticed that there isn't much diffs in the Mats required for Executioner or Mongoose ... in fact, I think Mongoose might actually turn out a little bit more.
So, I'll start saving ... I will be upgrading my Planar edge to a Black Planer Edge (hopefully soon), so yeah, that's gonna hanga round for a while, which means Executioner will go on that.
Off Hand, I'm looking at the gladiator weapons (fast or slow, I'm still undecided), and that would be the last OH upgrade I do in a long time, so maybe Ill go the whole hog and do Mongoose on that one ... *gulp*, 12 void crystals, 20 Large prismatic shards !!!

excuse my ignorance, but i don't see how the armor piercing effect of executioner is better than the haste proc and 120 agi from mongoose? does executioner translate to a flat 25% dps increase or something, assuming the mob has 3000 or so armor? not sure where i saw that armor number.

There was a thread awhile back about the advantage of executioner over mongoose.
Zip, do you think mongoose on off hand is better than potency now? You used to be of the opposite opinion as am I. Unless OH WW hits can proc weapon enchants. I know they don't proc flurry /grumble.

I'm pretty sure WW can proc offhand weapon enchants, although I don't have any supporting proof. If it can't then it's not really worth it over Potency.
That's what I was thinking. If it can then thats one more reason to use a slow off hand.
