My weapons are also the exact same speed, since it's the same in both hands, so it's a little easier to time stuff.

I didn't have imp demo, and never will, so I only did that if the DPS warrior's demo fell off, as my demo is inferior.

I always switched back to berserker after demoing, because it's more convenient for re-using berserker rage, and moreso importantly, my Whirlwind's being pretty significant with my weapons.

As for threat, it was only an issue if I didn't have salvation. And getting salvation should be pretty easy for a typical raid!
Well, my experiences as DPS as prot in a raid situation only go as far as ZA, but we're starting alt SSC/TK soon so I'm interested in what I'm going to need to do as DPS on those fights that only require a single tank. Being that I'm often tanking heroics for badges to gear up for those runs, and to tank ZA/kara as possibly the only prot warrior, I've taken both Imp TC and Imp Demo. In the case that we have one of our T6 ferals main tanking, I will always keep up TC/Demo.

I'm sure once we get into a 25 man raid situation things will be a little different, but even then I can see fights that I'll come across where this will be an issue. I guess I'll try to pick up another [Heartless] so I have a 2nd 2.6 speed weapon to max WW hits and even out the rage generation.
