SOFW VS. Golden Wraps of the Compact/WLK combo

Just throwing this out to see if anyone has parsed the damage on a few different combos out there. Currently I have a Staff of flowing water as my 2hb, Golden Wraps of the Compact and my BST epic secondary in my offhand. But I also have a 15/21 piercer and a WLK. The combos I was testing out go as follows
1. SOFW(42/34 2hb)
2. GWOTC(17/21 h2h) + Claw of the Savage Spirit (13/22 h2h. 40% haste +30attck)
3. GWOTC (17/21) + Trueborn Dagger(15/21) (LDON)
4. GWOTC (17/21) + WLK (16/22 75DD proc)
5. Claw of the Savage Spirit (Primary and Secondary) BST EPIC CLAWS.

I have all these weapons and can't really make up my mind which is more DPS. I've tried all the different combos and here is what I have found from my tests. (I was in veksar testing these out on the iksar golems in the golem yard. My results are based off how long it took me to take down a mob with certain weapon combos and the health I had left in percentage I have 5264 HP with Aego since I box a 60 Cleric.)

1.SOFW = 1min 45 seconds. 65% health left
2.GWOTC + CoTSS (Secondary) 2min 2 seconds. 56% health left
3.GWOTC + Trueborn dagger of the dark(15/21) 1min 56 seconds 54% health left)
4.GWOTC + WLK 1min 51 seconds 58% health left
5.BST EPIC (Primary/Secondary) 2min 10 seconds 43% health left.

Now I know the level on the iksar behemoths vary slightly so I don't think my tests are really accurate. I may just download EQcompanion tonight and parse my fights instead to see the actual numbers. I just wanted to see if you guys have any insight. I'm a 65 ogre BST with at least 20 of my AA's spent in offensive aa's. Beastial Frenzy is maxed and such. I want to believe that SOFW still pwns my GWOTC + off hand of choice combo...but it seems pretty close. Lemme know what you guys think. Also, When I have h2h items equipped my Attack goes up a little more than 100points. That's pretty significant. Seems my max hit with the GWOTC is around 117ish for a normal hit and my highest crit with it so far is 203. Normal crits are around 190's. In terms of haste, I have celerity that I cast on myself and Belt of the Destroyer from NTOV (41%) Perma haste. BTW all my stats are maxed at 280. I don't have any planar power type aa's yet. I don't know how accurate these tests were since I don't have a parser. Anybody try it yet? I am kinda curious to see what kind of h2h item you need in order to out DPS SOFW.

im pretty sure bst get an atk bonus when usin h2h,when i first started my beasty i used two 1hb,i bought the best dam per sec non-no drop 1hb i could get, because any half decent h2h was way over priced & rare as hell,anyway's when i finally managed to grab a good deal on a FOR or somethin to start bringing up my h2h skill,i happened to notice when switching off my offhand 1hb for a h2h weapon with far less h2h skill compared to my 1hb skill that i had as much atk if not more then usin two 1hb weapons with max skill,i later got two h2h weapons with lesser ratios then the 1hb weapons id been using & with max h2h skill had WAY more atk usin h2h.

i noticed right away i was hitting the mobs alot more usin h2h compared to 1hb & 2hb,i think alot of people who look at h2h weapons & think their totle crap like i did,but with the monk/beasty atk bonus using h2h we might not hit for all that much but we might hit a little more.

beastlords are suposed to be a cross between a monk & a shammy right? we get alot of shammy & as far as monk we get,kick,70% bind wound & from what iv seen a h2h atk bonus,oww we killer monks! lol.

i still love my beasty tho i gota tell yas,best class iv played.

Beastlords don't get a bonus to H2H, they get a higher skill. The skill rating ups your attack, thus you do more damage with H2H than other things. For monks the comparisons are pretty much straight up, for beastlords the scales tip a little more in the favor of H2H weapons.

Just letting you know why you are seeing higher dmg for that type.
