So once level 50, which is better for a solo battle cleric focusing on undead? Dawnfire with the sick sick proc, Deathbringer with the far better ration and Wis but the proc isn't close.
I know if luck is involved the Dawnfire just wrecks, but anyone spend a significant amount of time testing both to see which one overall felt better?

Just did a quick test on my 60 Shaman using
https://wiki.project1999.com/Spear_of_Fate against
https://wiki.project1999.com/Eldak_Howlingbear for 6 minutes.
I had 255 STR. I did not have spell haste on. I had 41% worn haste. This is a 0.66 ratio weapon (compared to a 0.72 ratio weapon of Deathbringer). I did 3181 damage over 364 seconds, which is 8.7 DPS.
We can say Deathbringer does an average of 9 DPS in a Priest's hands with 255 STR, 41% worn haste, and without spell haste, assuming you never cast spells. Dawnfire is basically half the ratio of Deathbringer, so we can say it does 4.5 DPS.
At 1 Proc Per Minute, Dawnfire's DD does 585 damage. We can round that to 600 and say 10 DPS.
At 1 Proc Per Minute, Deathbringer's DD does 273. We can round that to 300 and say 5 DPS.
Deathbringer would do 9 DPS + 5 DPS at 1 Proc Per Minute, for a total of 14 DPS.
Dawnfire would do 4.5 DPS + 10 DPS at 1 Proc Per Minute, for a total of 14.5 DPS.
As long as you have enough DEX to average 1 Proc Per Minute, Dawnfire will perform roughly equal to Deathbringer if you never cast spells. The more DEX you have above 1 Proc Per Minute, and the more spells you cast per minute, the better Dawnfire will end up performing.
I'd say use Dawnfire unless you have terrible DEX, and don't want to increase it via gear for whatever reason. 85 DEX is what you need for 1 Proc Per Minute, which isn't difficult to get.
