i don't have my numbers on me, but i sat in 2 classes one day and did rough theorycraft on comparing hourglass vs dragonspine for a feral druid.
assumed 2600 Ap 33% crit ( 35% w/ hourglass ), T4 2pc bonus, OOC; I found that dragonspine would be about equal with 2ppm, 1-2% dps increase with 2.5ppm , and 5%+ increase with 3ppm ...
the benefits assume that more white hits with haste allow more chances for OOC and T4 to proc, since they both seemingly have no internal cooldown. Also, since Hourglass does have internal cooldown, our high crit is "wasted".
As well, I'd like to comment that I use abacus along with dragonspine, so I attempt to stack +energy / +free attacks, and in my experience it works well. There are times when I have "unlimited energy" and am more or less waiting on global cooldown, or get to throw an extra shred out while waiting for my last 5/5 Rip to drop.
Using this bias, I stack agility over AP, and hang betwen 90-110 +hit.
I have been #1 dps on prince kills over a flasked hunter, a flasked shadow priest ( only +900ish shadow though ), and assuming I don't die, can be top 5 on Gruul effortlessly. I understand these numbers can be meaningless without considering the rest of my raid, but I do not understand for a second why people have beliefs that druids can't top dps meters.
EDIT: I'd like to add that even with Abacus + Dragonspine + Bloodlust up, Tiger's Fury still blows.
