Druid using Stormspire?

Speed unmatched? Except by a Shaeled/Fervent IK Maul or Shaeled Baranar's Star (well, one frame off, out of 28). And surpassed by little things like Giant Threshers of Quickness, or Great Polaxes of Quickness, or almost any other two-hander of Quickness, if appropriately socketed. And a significant amount of PvP 1-handed weapons, too. :P

Not saying that it's a bad weapon (I love it on my WB), but I find it a stretch to call it the best for the reasons that you listed.

And...hrm:

Er, besides the fact that it has 11 more frames in a full Fury animation (12/7/7/7/7 if Shaeled, vs. 9/5/5/5/5 on the IK Maul), nearly 100 less average damage, and no bonuses against Demons? Again, not a bad weapon, but really not in the same league at all.

And I think that TheDragoon did in fact determine how Druid attack speeds work, at least in practice. It may be that a Cruel Colossus Blade attacks at the same speed as the equivalent 1-handed swords (he thinks), so a Cruel Colossus Blade of Quickness with a few Shaels probably would be okay. Otherwise, though, they're pretty slow.
