Best is to parse though.

A FB is a pretty bad ranger weapon for group work but decent for solo. With your dual wield skill being so low I’d go 2h until a Swiftwind. I had a woodsman and solid haste until 58 and even before the 2h damage bonus upgrade it did very well. It’s not for everyone “feel” wise but it’s extremely difficult/costly to beat.
I pretty much solo exclusively right now, and I alternate between 2 Lamentations and a Silver Swiftblade. And my Dual Wield is capped at 205 right now.

I don't want to invest in a Woodsman's Staff because it's Ranger only and would be hard to resell later. I tried to buy a Springwood Stave as an alternative (since it's dirt cheap and not too big of a dropoff in DPS) but couldn't find a seller.

When you say FB is a bad ranger weapon for group play, I'm assuming that's because its proc is high threat (because of the AC debuff) and bad for a Ranger that doesn't intend to tank in a group? Does that mean that using Flame Lick, Immolate, or Call of Sky Proc is a bad idea in a group for a Ranger that isn't tanking?
