OMG haste doesnt inceease procs. So a slower weapon and intermitant undead DD casts would yield better results?

Proc rate does not depend on delay or % chance to hit.

Given Cleric A with a a good-ratio weapon and Cleric B with a bad-ratio weapon who are both swinging as soon as delay timer is up (and both weapons have the same proc, which is not the same as the question in OP):
Cleric A will do more white damage than Cleric B
Cleric A will do the same proc damage over time as Cleric B
As a proportion of total damage done to mob, Cleric B will have a higher proportion due to procs than Cleric A.

OP's question is essentially: weapon A does more white damage and less proc damage, weapon B does less white damage and more proc damage, which is better? In this instance, I would agree with DSM and Snaggles; I'd prefer the one with less white damage and more proc damage. I'd also be nuking between each swing, though. I think an undead battle cleric depends more upon the armor than the weapon, because even a great-ratio weapon is going to be less efficient than nukes and medding, imo.
