Remember that, especially for a soloing SK who is casting a lot of lifetaps and stuff while in melee, a faster weapon is going to miss out on relatively more DPS time because of spellcasts. I can cast a lifedraw (40 SK) between swings of an oggok cleaver (even with CoF haste) without EVER having the swing timer pushed back because it comes due while lifespike is still casting; I'll probably delay some melee rounds if I'm using a 40-delay or a 36-delay weapon even if I just had fbss haste though. But if I'm swinging a 24 delay weapon even with NO haste, I'm going to be losing melee time every single time I cast lifedraw (2.45 second cast plus latency and human element).

a soloing sk aint gonna be casting that much, unless they're rocking c2 or sitting for 5 mins between pulls

what, 1 maybe 2 lifetap per fight? let's throw in a couple more casts for dc and debuff/buffs

i'd argue those 4 slightly longer swings of a 24 delay weapon are barely gonna be noticeable in your parse for soloing a mob to death
