The thing is, if you say that the rate is fixed as "proc per swing", it seems logical to assume that all swings have an equal chance to proc. However, the reality is that when a swing doesn't...

I would say that Spoon is right, because the proc is a chance on HIT. If you don't connect, you can't proc. If you let all swings count, your method will yield different "proc rates" at different...

Hmm, my mistake I guess. I just recall trying it out once on a PTR (I don't remember which patch) and being disappointed with my low speed. Maybe I'll take camo in my leveling build afterall.

Unless something has changed, the speed increase from camo doesn't stack with fleet footed (which I'm assuming you would have in a PvP Mut build), so all you get is the cooldown reduction.
