Well it was tweaked several times in a short time frame after kunark launch. We had a month or so for example BS were hitting for max dmg an absurd amount of the time. To be fair I quit for a year and a half in the middle so it has prolly been the same for a very long time now.
Yeah I am aware of this particular change, but I'm pretty sure there wasn't anything else done to BS calculation from the time we did those parses to today.

There is no way this is correct. Slowing down 1x mh swing per backstab in order to add 3 dmg to backstab swing is going to be well worth it all day.

Also is RSSS really better OH when using thorn MH than RB? The ratio is slightly better, but Ragebringer give +40 to attack. 40 attack is not a ton, so I can see it being better, but I would guess this is almost a wash.
Most certainly is correct. I've toyed with it soooo many times with VP encounters to make up my mind on the subject matter. Plus... lazy. And as I mentioned before, if you have TS and no access to a RSSS, I'd definitely go the TS/RB route. However, if you have the capability of obtaining a RSSS, then there's no reason to use the TS over the RB for the MH. TS/RSSS makes no sense due to the +atk.

You still get that delay on every other swing. The only question is, is that extra delay on 1 swing worth more than the dmg bonus from 15 dmg vs 12 dmg on a backstab swing. You really think giving dropping delay by 7 for a single swing in the RSSS case is worth more than the dmg bonus from 15 dmg vs 12 dmg on backstab?
On average? Probably. Think about it as averages. If your average BS with a ragebringer is 300 and your average backstab with a TS is 280 (random numbers to make a point) then yes, I could easily see the damage bonus making up for the deficient in a lower backstab.

Mainhanding a 15 damage dagger doesn't suddenly make every backstab do 150 more damage, it just skews your average backstab damage a bit to the right on a bell shaped curve.
