Has anyone looked at the proc rate of sword spec in TBC?

I was looking at my swstats breakdown after a couple of hours of PvP, and, disturbingly, sword spec procs only accounted for 2.2%~ of my total dmg output. Which was only 0.1% more than the dmg done by the 'impale' proc of my weapon (despair).

I would expect that if every instant attack has a 5% chance of triggering a sword spec proc you would be looking at 4%~ of total dmg coming from sword spec (less than 5%, as aoe dmg wouldn't trigger sword spec procs afaik). I'm aware they stopped sword spec procs triggering off other sword spec procs, but given the results it makes me wonder if they may have put some sort of internal cooldown on sword spec procs.
