The first question is whether DW is calculated based on only your base weapon damage or is it based on your modified (+AP, etc.) damage. If it is the latter it might be worth looking at. The big negative is I have to "burn" 3 points in improved Rend. This seems like a terrible waste and is why I don't think this is a great option. Still, if DW works on your modified damage (and because I'm thinking of looking for stam and then agility on equipment which should help with crit rates) it might be an option.

I checked it out, and here's the deal: Deep Wounds factors in attack power bonus and ignores armor. A maxed deep wounds will do exactly 60% of your average damage listed on your character sheet. Of course it still can't crit and would ignore any +crit damage bonuses.
