Hey guys i need some information here cause i think i am going crazy.
My warrior hit 80 5 days ago and i made him dps arms and tank with the dual specc system.
I will get to the point.I know that in PvP it's better to have slower weapons cause they have more max damage then faster, so i wanna ask , why haste is that bad?
Haste changes the attack speed of weapon but not the max damage, right?Thats pretty logical to me,although i am not 100% sure.
If this is right, then Haste should be one VERY important stat for 2handers (specially fury warriors , they hold 2 so they benefit double).
At the moment i am holding a Titansteel destroyer with 3.4 speed,and i have 102 haste rating that allows me to attack faster 3.11%.From 3.4 the speed goes down to 3.11 but the damage remains 507-761.
To me that sounds awesome , can someone explain me why people don't want haste on end-game 2h weapons?

The bulk of our dps comes from instant attacks
This. And arms already has 6% haste from talents (another 25% is in Fury tree from Flurry). Haste isnt bad, its deffinatelly better than hit over hit cap.
In terms of dps stick to arp and crit (and ap/str).

but the rage comes from auto hits rage = skills = dps , right?
i just don't get the comments on end game items that want crit over haste..
thanks for your replies

I was always told for PvP purposes, a faster weapon is better, because it keeps your Rage generation up, which allows more Instant attacks. With the wide variety of things available at higher levels, you need as much rage as you can get.
I recently swapped from
Tribal Blade of the Beast
to
Lobstrock Slicer
- I dropped some STR AGI and STA due to the Lobstrock having only green bonuses, but my DPS has improved greatly, because I'm hitting faster and hence can keep up the specials.
It seemed kinda alien to me at first, but if you can get a faster but weaker weapon and rely on Rage more, it seems you can come out better than you were.

In pvp Arms warriors rarely run out of rage in a fight because of talents like

and to be good you have to time your abilities not just spam everything, so haste is one of the stats not focused on usually because at higher levels AP and crit are much more important, also most pvp gear does not offer haste anyways so it would not be viable to take out resil over haste even if it did give more dps/rage especially if you have 2/2 in

While leveling however haste (if you can get it) would help in getting rage and would probably help out in this area yes but as an arms warrior doing raids or pvp haste is one of the more un-needed stats

Stuff like crit or armor penetration also increases rage generation, it just also increases the damage done by instant attacks. That's why they are much better than haste.
