I noticed that Cat in 2.2.0.7 is one of the models that hasn't implemented item procs yet. I did get agility coming out above strength once I selected Primal Gore, though.

Have you checked to see if Rawr just wandered off your screen somehow? Hit Alt+Space, M, an arrow key, then move the mouse around a bit. It might come back attached to your pointer.

The data in Wowhead (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=42976) agrees with the text of the proc, that it's +120 ArP. I don't have an executioner-enchanted weapon to test for sure, but I trust it to be...

It may have changed again since, but when I was playing with it I found that you could bear swipe with no target in range, but you had to have some target selected for some reason.

Practically, it's probably only good as a buffer against lag, yeah. Theoretically though, it does allow you to squeeze slightly more attacks into less GCDs if you don't mind letting a cooled-down...

Using a value of 0.4489 per AP (from Fury of the Five Flights above), if the proc is 35 DPS, it would come out to 0.4489 * 190 + 35 = 120.291 DPS. That'd put it in the "barely epic" range in that...
