Leveling up in my 50s, any time I was grouped with a higher level warrior wielding epics with superior haste (happened about 4x) could not hold aggro off my lower level and 24% warrior using FB/WESS. Once I got Infestation, the aggro gap was even more noticeable. Sorry, but I completely disagree. A reasonably geared warrior has only one huge challenge 24/7 ... threat generation. In the modern era, a warrior dual wielding epics is a warrior generating comparatively poor threat.

I'm now 60. Aggro is a cinch with Infestation primary and FB/WESS offhand. In the groups where i have a raid geared monk/rogue/ranger who actually challenges my threat potential, I shudder at the thought of trying to do my job with dual epics. Red epic is *decent* by modern standards for primary hand ... but I wouldn't consider using the blue blade unless I was using a non-threat weapon primary with the only goal of dps in mind. Red plus any of the following is ok, but you'd still hold aggro better by not using it

At ~300 threat per poison counter, infestation makes approximately double threat per red epic proc + a bonus for the low delay (18).

WESS has an inferior ratio but has 4 poison counter + debuff + blind per proc.

FB mainhand has a better ratio and a comparable aggro proc compared with red epic.

Blue epic has no threat proc and is thus just a pretty/flashy toy that situationally is useful in that it boosts your attack.
