Did you actually parse the damage? Trust me it just feels worse because it's a much slower weapon than most other monk weapons. The same DPS is there. You also get fewer ripostes when soloing which has a noticeable difference on the damage you take versus 1 handers, as well as your own ripostes doing way more damage, and you take less damage from damage shields than any other monk weapon.
And best of all it looks way cooler than that Cracked Staff Peacebringer.

I didn't parse it but the TTK difference was striking..not to mention I was going down to 20-30% health on one mob using the IFS because it was taking so long to kill. Then mobs would run at low health and I would have to chase them down forever to get the kill (aggroing more stuff on me). Killing the same exact mobs with JM/trance and my health would only dip to 80% due to the much faster TTK and mobs would not run far after fleeing due to the faster dmg.
I don't doubt that the DPS potential is probably higher with the IFS but it doesn't seem to be performing as well on shorter fights...or maybe I'm just missing some other factor.
