I know this has been thought of before: Make an Enchancement Shaman with crazy haste gear and see what kind of damage you can do.
I decided to test this so we could all stop wondering.
My main goals were to see how much DPS was attainable, and to determine if Flametongue Weapon would be more viable at such extreme speeds.
All testing was done on a level 70 Troll Shaman, albeit on my WotLK private server.

When buffed with Berserking, Bloodlust, Flurry, and the WotLK Windfury totem, my Attack speed got as low as .42 on both weapons, and my DPS was an astonishing total of 1256.8!

Phase 2 Test results:
Flametongue Viability:
In my tests I discovered with my gear and build, Flametongue weapon is MUCH more viable at insane speeds because my build's bonus to Spell Damage with talents, and it's Anti-Windfury nature with it's low-damage, high-speed weapons that would kill the proc damage of Windfury.
PS: I included Flurry as a buff because with a base crit of 18.56, the high speed of attack and the Darkmoon Card: Wrath, Flurry was almost always in effect and I decided to keep it as a buff.
