Should we after the patch go for a full reversal and reforge all mastery into crit/hit?

With WF hitting 3x now, might we even try WF/WF again?

Mastery was simming as the best stat for me even when I was using WF/ft at the beginning of cata, so I doubt that will change. I imagine the only significant gearing difference will be that there will no longer be gear levels where it is best to leave expertise uncapped and reforge to mastery instead due to the windfury on mainhand which will be a large portion of our damage. Also, I highly highly doubt we will ever return to WF/WF because of lava lash. As of right now it hits like an absolute truck for me, and I find it hard to believe it will be worth it to switch from flametongue on offhand for that reason. As with everything, it will need to be simmed once it is ready, those are just my educated guesses.
