The extra AP on the bonus attack from windfury doesn't change that it is a speed-neutral bonus. This is because windfury does not proc off of special attacks (anymore), and with a static proc chance its effect exactly counters its PPM. Just about all other procs do, with your normalized proc chance, meaning that a slower attack speed is preferable for just about everything in the game that uses a PPM system. Anything with a static proc% favors a fast speed for higher uptime. An internal cooldown can lower that asymptotically but never actually remove the preference completely. PPM effects are generally more common, meaning that slower attack speeds are generally better, but that should be balanced against what procs a druid can actually make use of in forms.
