infestation > wess doesn't make infestation dps non-crap

And what, pray tell, would you consider to be a true aggro weapon that is better than the ‘crap’ 9/18 ratio infestation?

Bear in mind that 18 delay primary is quite important. So much so that jade mace (9/18) edges out over 17/28 stave of shielding for monk primary hand dps at 60. Even with the lower piercing skill cap infestation will about the same actual dps as 12/22 Frostbringer. It will absolutely have higher melee threat (not affected by the lower piercing skill cap) ... not to mention the proc is roughly twice as potent for threat (~900 per proc vs ~450-500)

I eagerly anticipate your reply.

PS: make sure the weapon has a proc.

Actually, from my (limited) experience with Infestation, its aggro proc is not better than Frostbringer's. I can recall a couple of instances earlier today in Karnor with another warrior in my group in which his Frostbringer proc went off around the same time as my Infestation, and he ended up snagging the mob from me. Our non-proc threat was similar, since mobs were ping-ponging from him to me. Maybe he taunted, but I don't know.

From what I can tell, Frostbringer's proc dishes out similar (if not slightly more) hate compared to Infestation's proc. I'd be interested in doing more testing to confirm this. Frostbringer might actually be better in the main hand as opposed to the offhand if this is actually the case.
