It’s unfortunate for sure. I had my Frostreaver before the 2h dmg bonus patch. It was “good enough” aggro to main tank with and did pretty solid damage. After the patch the threat output shot up significantly. It put every other weapon in my toolkit in the dustbin both from a dps and threat generation standpoint.
Monks saw the same phenomenon with TStaff in that patch. TStaff becomes botb dps until you have access to high end velious gear. Prior to the patch there were good “middle of the road” dps alternatives including epic fists, sky fists, scepter of mastery etc. At 29/30 it is still competitive with some raid 2handers with a >1.1 ratio. 30 delay is about the sweetest sweet spot you can find for maximizing dmg bonus.
