A quick and easy way to compare ratios between 1h and 2h weapons is to take the 1h weapons, add the dmg, and avg the delay. This gives you:

2hb: 23/28
1hb: 22/25

When ratios are close like this, you're usually better going with the 2hb since it has some extra benefits (DS hurts you less, you riposte harder, higher dmg bonus with slower 2h weapons, etc.)

So in this situation I'd say Wu's is slightly better, but it's close enough to allow for personal preference.

This hugely overstates 1H weapon damage since you don't DW every time. I think a L60 monk only dws 75-80% of the time and a L60 warrior about 65%.
