I disagree. Druids generate threat via damage done, and in Sunwell-level gear Swipe will be generating more threat on single targets than Lacerate. Every high-threat attack is then Physical damage and is mitigated by armor. Stats that make a druid hit harder do not necessarily make the item DPS gear.
Check out the Feral "set" from Sunwell:
[Mask of the Fury Hunter]
[Demontooth Shoulderpads]
[Gloves of the Forest Drifter]
[Harness of Carnal Instinct]
[Leggings of the Immortal Beast]
What do you notice on every piece except the helm? Armor pen. Even the T6 bracers have armor pen on them.
