Which is better?

Check the numbers in the spreadsheet ... assuming they are right, the 'swordspec-off-hamstring' isnt really that significant.

Huh? I'm not saying axe is inheriently better, i'm simply pointing out that in certain situations Axe has its advantages (which was in response to a previous poster claiming that axe was 'never' better). There will be times when a Rogue/Hunter (even frost mage with -hit talent) will be your primary target. Hell you might even have insect swarm on you. Thus it seems relevant to point out that sword may not be quite as good in these scenarios.
Assuming you target casters the majority of the time, then Sword probably is the better choice.
