That said…you could solve this with a calculator.

You are correct, a calculator would be the best for determining which weapons are best given the scenario. That is what I am getting at with this post:

My test on Bloodmaw demonstrates this point. A 14/24 should not be near a 13/19 on a test against a target who isn’t a pile of jelly. It shouldn’t be 13% behind the fifth best ratio in this current state of the game. They aren’t in the same galaxy…trust me.

I am not saying parsing Corudoth is equivalent to parsing AoW. The point of a Corudoth parse is to show the DPS ceiling of a weapon for a level 60. This means the best possible DPS a weapon can do. That is what you mean when you say:

The Turtle gives far too much credit to ratio and not enough to damage bonus.

If Corudoth is the DPS ceiling of a weapon for a level 60, all encounters harder than Corudoth will do less DPS. Once you know the DPS ceiling of the weapon, you can scale your DPS down to see when one weapon is better than the other. From my current parsing XP mobs seem to take about 55-60% DPS of a Corudoth parse. A raid target should be taking less damage than that.
Using a calculator like this is useful because you can see what weapons are better depending on the situation. A player may want to use 1h weapons while fighting XP mobs if they are similar or better DPS to their 2H weapon for whatever reason. Quite a few people have said Epic Fist + SoS is worse than IFS, but at level 52 Epic Fist + SoS is better than IFS if you don't fistweave. Not everybody likes fistweaving.
We don't need to presume all parsing questions are about which weapons are best against AoW. OP is level 51, and thus is not asking about what weapons are best for AoW.
