It is one of the better talents in the Combat tree
Dual Wield Specialization (5/5) - 50% increase on paper actually turns into 25% increase in off-hand damage. By the time you get this talent you’re probably hitting for 40 dmg with the luna gold off-hand. You’re up to 60 damage with this talent. It does increase your DPS a fair amount and offsets the miss penalty of Dual Wield. This is one of the better talents in the Combat tree.
Mace Specialization (3/5) - Great for PvP. So-so for PvE. Maces tend to have lower damage than swords, which makes Sinister Strike less powerful, not a good thing. Stuns in PvE are rare and therefore you can’t plan for it.
Sure, it’s great when it happens but it will surprise you as much as it surprises your target. You don’t want the fight to last longer with less damage and stuns. You want more damage. Again though, it has its uses in PvP. It is nice that it includes a bonus to weapon skill, which makes a difference for raiders.
Blade Flurry (4/5) - 20% increase in attack speed is nice for only 20 Energy. Hitting an extra opponent, less so. In solo play, you’re only going 1 on 1 anyways. In group play, if you’re attacking multiple targets at once, you’re getting extra hate generated, which is not a good thing.
AE attacks in WoW should only be used on command, not last 15 seconds. That being said, if you know when to use this skill, it is a tremendous boon to your damage output.
