Spamming Slam without waiting for autoattacks between attacks, the crappiest way to spend rage in the game that's actually been used by anyone, will do DPS * (speed - 1.5 - latency), say 400 damage as we're being nasty here, for 15 rage + ( 1.5 + latency)/speed * swing gain, say 23 rage to again be nasty. Which means that even a horribly used Slam is still 17 DPR, and Slamspam is definitely enough rage out to spend anything you can possibly gain as a dps'er.
HS is a possible choice for DW in situations when they're limited by GC rather than rage or threat. For a 2h user Slam is a strictly better choice than HS in any fight that allows you to stand still for ½ a second at regular intervals, which effectively means HS is never at any point relevant. Toss it, it really makes no difference.

Then again, not like rage gen, and thus, DPR is an issue with the amount of damage he was taking if you look at that damagemeter parse - I guess that's the other way of going about it, other than intelligent rage management and DPR/DPS maximization, is to cheese rage gen (I was particularily guilty of this pre-BC, in my early fury days ... and learned my lesson in Naxx.) Looking back, I probably would kick myself out of the raid today though if I was going about it like that still
