Just thinking out loud here, 3 slashes a minute is 18 total over the course of the fight. Assuming each one pushes back ~1 second and the average autoshot time is ~2 seconds (accounting for haste procs/drums), that's a loss of 9 autoshots. At an average of 1500 per autoshot (averaged from WWS), that's 13,500 damage lost, which is roughly ~36 dps. Am I missing something, or is that within the ballpark?

I guess that could be worth it if the healing can cope with extra slash damage.
You missed the amount of damage loss from steadyshot casts getting pushed back, so the damage loss should be significantly higher. As a rough gauge, I'd double that figure to take the steady shot losses into account.
