I think all that needs noted about that site's utility is that it puts The Decapitator above Talon of the Phoenix in for MH and Breeching Comet above Rising Tide for OH.

The History link does not, alas, work; one suspects it's only usable by those with editing privileges on the wiki. (I.e., going to the wiki page I don't even see said row of buttons.)

This was, alas, hotfixed out of existence last week, and confirmed dead with this week's patch. They nailed Terokk's Gavel and the other lingering 1h spell damage weapons at the same time.

This is actually not true. There is, alas, no JC-only +Str gem (JC BoP gems (http://www.wowhead.com/?items=3&filter=qu=4;cr=86:2;crs=7:1;crv=0:0)); we must as usual settle for AP. However, that's not...

This is very true to my experience. I've played maybe 8-10 AV as Alliance on Rampage since patch day, and have lost at least half of them. Badly. 3-4 Horders would defend Galv, which would be enough...

Actually, it's not the only one. There're 2 others: 1H caster weapons (http://www.wowhead.com/?items=2&filter=sl=13;cr=51;crs=1;crv=0)

Right now, WF wins hands-down over all other imbues. This is not contentious. However, simulation has shown that it doesn't scale as well with massive haste-stacking as either FT or RB. Now, this is...

I'm pretty sure (though not 100%) that a Scroll of Agility won't stack with an Elixir of Major Agility. I know with utter certainty this is the case for Strength Scrolls and Elixirs.
