In response to the original question, werewolves generally aren't going to get much mileage out of non-weapon IAS sources.
If you compare the speed tables in Dragoon's guides for Wolves and Bears, you'll see that there isn't even a column for outside IAS for wolves on some of the tables, and when there is, often you only see the animation length changing for very low amounts of weapon IAS (looks like on a wolf - anything with more than 25 weapon IAS can't be sped up by outside IAS).
The exact calculations aside, it's pretty clear that there must be a capped "effective IAS" term, which a high werewolf skill helps to max out with just a little weapon IAS. Wherever the speed boost from hunger is coming from, I suspect it's even less likely that non-weapon IAS will make any dent at all in attack animation length.
