Theres a reason why everyone needed slows when they did EarthShaker runs.
That's not entirely true.

Procs without a modifier (generally every item in classic) have set-in-stone "proc per minute." So if you're hasted, you're hitting more times per minute, but proc "less" to stay within the same average amount of procs as you would when un-hasted.

Shakerpaging was accomplished through the Rampage AA which allowed a warrior to auto-riposte every attack. When you're 75% slowed, your proc rate increases by 75% to bring you to the "average." The exploit is that this only evens out procs when using auto attack.

Thus, Turgur's Insects increases your chance to proc by 75%. This carries over to riposting.

A couple hundred mobs hitting you + auto riposte every attack + 75% proc rate increase + ae proc = quickly dead mobs.

In short, someone slowed 75% with land 75% less hits and someone hasted 75% will land 75% more hits but proc the exact same amount of times.
