For a rogue, 68 hits per minute would be just auto attack with both weapons on. This is of course a rough guess, but if he had fast daggers (1.8 MH, 1.3 OH).. thats 60/1.3 + 60/1.8 = 79 swings per min. If he had slowish swords (2.7 MH, 1.5 OH).. thats 60/2.7 + 60/1.5 = 62 swings per minute. So yea, 68 is likely just auto attack. 68 hits/proc = ~1.47% chance to proc.

After SnD and spam damage, you'll probably get another 50% more swings. So, whats the uptime for a 6-second duration buff with a ~1.4-1.5% proc chance at 90-120 swings a minute? Twice a minute roughly? So.. 20% of the time you're attacking ~24% faster. 0.24 * 0.6 (assuming 60% white damange, ignore cpots and other procs :S) = 14% damange boost, 20% of the time... so overal maybe a 3% damage bonus. Not too bad.

Remember, the later half of this post is super rough numbers with lots of factors rounded out. 3% damage increase vs 3% dmg increase on just crits and some agi.. I think its a clear winner here, even for dagger rogues, especially for sword/fist/mace rogues. Damn this gem will scale nicely..
