I have not been a long time Jabber, but I remember at one point players could Jab at a constant speed regardless of IAS or WSM modifiers. It seems that this is no longer the case in v1.09, and probably v1.10 as well though. There have been several threads in the Amazon Basin trying to determine the Jab speed formula, and while no one has been able to pin point it, IAS tables have been produced from experimentation nonetheless. Given that Jab speed is clearly affected by IAS and WSM, perhaps Blizzard has since modified Jab to resemble Zeal/Fury/Fend/Strafe/DTalon now?
Some threads on Jab speeds:
