From level 68 to a week into 70 I was 26/32/3 with a 2Her, and I loved it. My current gear is even better when I switched to protection, but it looks like this: http://ctprofiles.net/3469214
One thing I liked about this build is I could do a ton more AOE damage than when DW. WW/cleave with SS was a lot of fun. Axe spec was also very very good synergy with flurry.
Imp slam is as good as people say. While I don't think spamming it is a good idea. (I tested it, and it does activate the GCD. So a .5 second swing plus waiting 1 second wait for before the next slam is no better than spamming un-imp slam) Slam also resets your swing timer. So what works best is to use it right after a normal swing.
Just some crappy theory-craft. With my current gear as seen on CTprofiles + gems that it doesn't show I'd have about 2000 AP self buffed, and 30% crit rating.
That makes a normal hit for about 800, slam for 940, and crits for 1600 and 2068 respectively.
Assuming you are just standing and DPSing a target forever you will slam after everyone regular attack. Chances of flurry ever running out are about .7^6 ~ 10%. So if you just assume flurry is going all the time an attack cycle is (3.5/1.3+.5)=3.2 seconds. Every cycle does (800+940)*.7+(1600+2068)*.3=2318 damage. So 2318/3.2=725 DPS against zero armor. Even if the mob is at 30% reduction that is about 500 DPS. Remember, that is all unbuffed. When you start adding things like blessings and WF totem that number climbs very very fast.
This is also very simplified. If I started building up extra rage I'd replace one slam with a BT and WW. And then you get trinkets to pop, death wish, and this is all on a single target. On multiple mobs using all my tricks a very good feral druid tank couldn't keep me from pulling aggro more than I should have;).
I also did a UBRS run (yes at 70, we where getting TD's druid that armor trinket) I didn't have to care about pulling aggro. I would have had over 900 DPS that instance if my internet ping would have been bellow 800 ping that day. Not that 900 DPS in UBRS means anything now, but it sure was fun :w00t:.
