Point is that since it's a DOT, when you get multiple procs in rapid succession the later procs go largely wasted because the effects don't stack. Just refreshes the already longer-than-needed duration. Hence the effective useful proc rate is lesser than the real proc rate. Other weapons with long-acting procs, like Narandi lance, suffer a similar limitation.
A Barbarian using the Winter's Roar hammer between bracer clicks does well for this type of thing, especially if he slows himself.
I'm more interested in average clicks-per-minute for the two playstyles. It's already established that actual killrate for the bacer shaman and non-bracer shaman are broadly similar. How much labor is the bracer saving?
