So I recently got a Blade of Carnage in a raid. After doing some calculations I came to the conclusion that a Swiftblade of Zek is actually better dps. My calculations are as follows but let me know if you see any errors or have parced these two weapons.
Before I start, I wanted to say that I have swiftwind in my offhand and a dark cloak of the sky. I will always be 90% hasted so I have my calculations reflecting that. Ill round to the second decimal for simplification.
BoC: ((15*2)+11)÷(23÷1.9)=3.39
SBoZ: ((11*2)+11)÷(18÷1.9)=3.48
Does this look right? If so, what is the appeal of the BoC over a Swiftblade? I haven't factored in strength but I haven't found any formula for that calculation.

First: congrats on the BOC! That's an awesome get!!
To answer your question though, my understanding is the same as yours based on an almost identical formula I use for comparing weapons that I found on the forums somewhere: in terms of raw dps the SOZ is better DPS than the BOC at level 60 due to the way mainhand damage bonus works.
The formula I use doesn't account for haste, but I don't think that matters?
BOC: [(15x2)+11.6]/23 = 1.81
SOZ: [(11x3)+11.6]/18 = 1.87
That said, I don't think I'd sweat the difference. Rangers aren't topping DPS charts anyway, and BOC is sweet.
