Playing Devil's Advocate for a moment, one could also point out that the current Catform weapon modded by FAP is significantly higher than a comparative 1-handed weapon (between 22 and 14% on your chart, IIRC) despite diminishing at the high end.

One could also argue that the value of FAP needs to be balanced somewhat around Bearform DPS as well... While the issue of Catform backstabbing with 2h DPS is arguable due to the speed, one can hardly argue that it would be very balanced for Bearform Druids to basically have 2h weapon DPS plus a Shield on the same item.

Either way, as our top-end for comparison right now are ilevel 175 Legendaries, so I'm not sure it's really the time to be fretting. The comparive Catform weapon DPS even at those high levels is still somewhere between 1-handed and 2-handed weapon DPS, and I honestly don't see us going past ilevel 175 legendary weapons any time too soon. So, really, when are we looking at a serious issues here? It will probably be a little while before we start seeing the ilevel 200+ items rolling in on a regular basis, after all.
