I overlooked nothing, if you read my post. I compared 47 sp and 23 haste to the accelerators - that's the 46 Blacksmithing would give you, the 23 haste on the cloak, and the 28 sp to gloves enchant,...

With the macro, my cycle has averaged ~37 seconds; I could probably do with a bigger sample size though; the variance in my data is higher than I'd like (>2). In any case, your 40s sounds reasonable...

You lose crit chance against mobs of higher level. The reduction against a boss is in the range of 5%, so your observations match pretty well.

47668 is definitely better.

Grim Toll is better than the Infuser, and I doubt you'd want to equip both of them. But hit-capping isn't particularly important to feral dps.

The point of it is that Obliterate does more damage than SS, because so much of the top gear has arpen on it.
