Yes but not all Druids have HOTW, and it is a perfectly fine assumption to make that resto Druids may, at some point, loot a feral weapon. Why should their upgrade path be in a state of perpetual decline? Similarily, a prot Warrior may loot a two-handed weapon; they wouldn't complain that its undervalued because fury Warriors get more out of it (Imp Berserker Stance). As stated in my original post, do not take into account talents or self-buffs as the evaluation of the weapons must be done alongside other weapons, not alongside other weapons plus talents.
One could say that Warriors get 10% less AP than Druids per point of strength, but their Deep Wounds talent would make up for it and as such, their base weapon DPS should be lowered.
