These are about the values that I had expected at Level 60 because the DPS values are similar, or even a bit better, than that of 2-hand weapons of the "Superior" (blue color) type for that level. The values also convince me that the Druid is an excellent, flexible melee class that is not nearly as dependent of superior equipment as i.e. the Warrior or Rogue.

In a way. There's some problems. Few rogues would use a 61 DPS dagger if it ran at 1.00 weapon speed, they'd rather have something with 40 DPS and 2.00 speed. Meanwhile, a warrior tanking would benefit more from a faster weapon for more rage and more evenly applied aggro, particularly since we get no skills in bear form which benefit particularly from a slow weapon, like Mortal Strike, Cleave, or Slam. Our remaining skills benefit more from a faster weapon.
But that's life. Druid forms do reasonably well, and best of all, you don't need to bother looking for a weapon that's blue just for its DPS and a #$%&ty proc. Stats ahoy.
