Now that's a nice Hammer!

Thanks, I think it is starting to sink in.  One thing that confused me, though, is basing this on rogue instants.  Since it is a 2h, a rogue can't (wouldn't?) even use this weapon, would they?

Right, Rogues only do 1h swords/maces/daggers. I simply used Rogue as an example since it's what I know best, and since it has the biggest disparity between fast and slow due to the multiplier.

I was thinking of it in terms of a pally or warrior using it.  My interpretation of your reply is this: weapon speed is, in effect, an attack power bonus to weapon damage multiplier.  In use by a pally, the proc of a seal of command is essentially the same as an instant from a rogue.  It blasts the mob with the full weapon damage which has been enhanced by the weapon speed x attack power dps bonus.  Therefore, if the proc rate per minute is the same, the dps is higher with a slow weapon because the damage bonus to each proc is higher.

Right. I don't know Pally skills too well, but what it boils down to is that any skill/attack/ability that's based off a timer other than Normal Attack will benefit from the slower weapon more. Just glancing at things, Reckoning looks like it would benefit too.

Looking at thott for Warriors, Overpower would be the best example, Whirlwind and Mortal Strike should also apply.
