Looking for some help. Everyone knows that the windfury cooldown is 3 seconds the same way that we all knew that Patchwerk's hateful strike was completely determined by who had the most health. Blizzard has stated that there is a cooldown on Windfury but they have never said it is 3 seconds and I have never seen definitive proof from anywhere that it is exactly 3 seconds.
Why does this matter? There is a point where haste starts to have a very detrimental effect on your dps and that is right when you get your weapon speed to half the cooldown duration. But if the cooldown is actually shorter then 3 seconds then that point changes. This also has a large effect on our simulator since without the correct cooldown the Sim is inaccurate.
Here is a combatlog entry from the Sarth3-10man we did over the weekend.
16:35'36.750 Rouncer Windfury Attack hits Tenebron #9 for 1748 Physical.
16:35'36.750 Rouncer Windfury Attack hits Tenebron #9 for 3859 Physical. (Critical)
16:35'39.625 Rouncer Windfury Attack hits Tenebron #9 for 3314 Physical. (Critical)
16:35'39.625 Rouncer Windfury Attack hits Tenebron #9 for 1621 Physical.
That's 2.875 seconds between Windfury Attacks.
This is meant to be a short thread focusing purely on the Windfury cooldown. I'm looking for people to help me accurately determine the real cooldown. Easiest way would seem to 2 very fast weapons both imbued with Windfury and the targeting dummy, add as much haste and haste procs as possible and run a /combatlog. Then go through the log and find the smallest interval between windfury attacks.
Take the smallest interval you can find and copy/paste it into a reply on this thread along with where you did the testing, what speed weapons were used, passive haste and any active haste procs. So the reply should look like this.

Any lag or high latency while testing will invalidate the results.
Only post results if you find an interval below 3 seconds. Feel free to state how much time you spent testing and the smallest interval you personally encountered since that will be useful for comparison data.
