Very nice. At least this script puts to rest some of the more, er, extreme claims about the windfury cooldown. Modelling the DPS of a slow lv10 white offhand over 10000 seconds showed really terrible damage, for example.

However, looking over the script, Disquette's model doesn't take into account the possibility of OH procs proccing MH windfury or the other way around. To me that's the sticking point. We know that it happens. We've all had our jaws drop at 4 simultaneous procs so big they could only be mainhand, and I've seen 2 simultaneous mainhand procs using 5/5 as well. Unless someone knows what circumstances cause one hand to proc windfury on the other, we're not going to get reliable data from scripted models.

If you're testing during actual gameplay and getting any significant amount of data (several hours of attack time, at least) you're going to be either farming or killing trash. Frequently starting and stopping DPS like that will skew your calculations toward slower being better anyway. That's not to mention that if you're running instances, your DPS is going to have more to do with the tank's threat generation than with your weapons.
