My goals have always been:
1. Max aggro proc per weapon (more or less normalized now unless you have a SoD or epic)
2. Max dps for the combo
3. If possible, meet 1) and 2) with procs that actually benefit the fight. Stuns, slows, snares, Etc.
For the longest time infestation was much better than FB. It’s closer now. Here is the napkin dps math:
(MH damage x 2) + dmg bonus 11 (at 60) / delay
At 60
FB - 1.590
Infest - 1.61
Whip : 1.136
So all things considered the Infestation is a better MH at 60. At lower levels you the speed isn’t as ideal. At 28 you get 1 dmg bonus for the main hand and an extra 1 dmg every 3 levels. At 50 it’s 8; at 60 it’s 11.
At 50
FB - 1.454
Infest - 1.444
Whip : 1.0
Also keep in mind with two dot weapons once you pick a target you can’t dance between others if you are using mez to CC. Fast weapons will also generate more ripostes and kill you faster on enrage. Not a big deal but some thing to consider.
