First off, this is not intended as a flame, but you might consider replacing all of your "u"s with "you"s. Those extra two letters really show us that you care. :)
But, as to your questions:
1) Technically, you have a faster base attack speed in Druid Human form, but you can achieve a faster attack speed in Druid Shifted form. The actual mechanics are very complicated, but the main theme is:
In Wereform, IAS on your weapon counts a lot. IAS off of your weapon counts a little, and in some cases, not at all. Werewolves will generally not get much benefit from off-weapon IAS, because they have so much IAS from the WW skill already. Werebears will get more of a benefit, because they don't receive any skill IAS, but with a fast enough weapon, off-weapon IAS will only help so much.
WIAS (weapon IAS) and OIAS (off-weapon or other IAS) are differing quantities and have different effects. Remember that.
As for actually calculating how much IAS you should have, check out this excellent calculator by TheDragoon: http://students.washington.edu/akrinke/wer...rmadvanced.html . Keep in mind that TheDragoon uses a reverse based speed in that calculator, ie, a Maul that shows up with base speed [10] on the Arreat Summit should be entered as base speed [-10] on TheDragoon's calculator, while a [-30] Phase Blade becomes [30].
This will also answer your Faster Hit Recovery question.
2) I'm afraid I don't have access to this information at the moment, but I'm sure someone else will provide.
3) See 1) for the Faster Hit Recovery; I don't know about Faster R/W (but, as above, there is certainly someone else around who does).
