Thanks.

You've probably noticed that weapons with high +Spell Damage, such as the Continuum Blade for example, have a lower DPS than other weapons of a similar ilvl. This is because a certain amount of weapon DPS is sacrificed (hence 'Sac') for Spell Power, at a rate of 1 DPS = 7 Spellpower.

Hence his value for Threat per second: 1 Sacrificed DPS = (7 Spell damage * 0.38 Threat per Spell Damage for SoV) = 2.66 Threat Per Second.

Hope that explains it.
