That formula is taken from the blizzard boards, I assume? And who stated it as fact?
My thoughts were less a meditation upon the formula and more upon the quality of the observations (no offense), and possible factors that the formula might not take into account.
The additional attack proc on thrash doesn't go off very often, though it certainly is a nice little boost when it does.

You are correct in your assumptions (no offense taken). I do not know who has stated it as fact. I do know that it is generally accepted that SoR is 12 PPM, and SoC is 4.8 PPM. I certainly have not proved it. I would welcome any testing you might want to do, especially if you believe it to proc more often. The conventional wisdom could certainly be wrong -- it has been before.
I probably will run some more. I doubted it was that low based on my own experience, but my feeble minute+ of testing seemed to indicate that conventional wisdom seemed accurate. Haven't pursued it further (unlike D2, I am still mostly just playing the game, not analysing it).
If thrash doesn't go off very often (less than once per minute of combat?), it would probably be an exhausting task to test it with any degree of confidence. Also, the results are less interesting if the proc is rare, as it will not make a great deal of difference.
