Question on weapons due to DW changes - Page 4

For increased dps and not using wasted CA's in place of auto-attack, which CA's do you not even bother with to produce higher dps? Obviously not including the Crescent Strike AE. Or, are they all worth casting since all under a .5 castings speed? I have a couple of options. Scepter of Destruction 1.2, Bonetooth Skewer 1.2, FoB 2.5 and Lucanic version of SoD Kama 2.5. Scepter has highest DMG Rating, but is it truly better to keep the delay's the same on each weapon for timing ca's? So should I be using the FOB main and Kama Offhand? Or is using Scepeter Main and Kama offhand just as effective?

Which is the best combo of my weapons including which hand they should be in?
What CA's should I just remove off my hotbar?

This is for Raiding DPS only. My standard group is OT group with Zerker, Mystic, Brigand, Monk, Bruiser, Swash. We just don't have enough Bard's to have one in every group yet consistently. I average 1k - 1.3k ZW depending on zone and ultimately group, but that's on average. Hearing all these other parse claims from Monks makes me realize I need to step up my game. I have all the right adornments and I have the +5crush +5slash on weapons. 3 pieces of legend EOF for 2% Double attack bonus and the rest fabled. I have 4 EOF class fabled, but the pieces just seem to suck for dps compared to the Legendary sets. The DPS adornments on neck and ranged and Werewolf Paw. Self buffed Haste and haste items hits around 124-129 I forget which.

AA Build - Int 448, Wis 44861, Agi 45

Hope that's enough info to help with the feedback. Thanks in advance for any help on increasing my dps. I do try and time my ca's as well.

Personally I would go with the Kama and the FOB. There is 2 higher ratio 2.5 delay weapons that are fairly easy to attain untill you get to MMIS and upgrade to a soulfire/razor gauntlets. The 2 are the Cudgel of pain In HOS and the baton of crabcakes. Also the biggest killer of monk dps is in your situation NO dps modifiers. One thing I see if you get a class that buffs crush pierce slash i would remove the adornments and put a actual proc on them. I may get a disagreement here but I feel a proc does more damage in raid for an offensive buffed dps player. The plus to crushing peiercing ect is more for tanks who are in defensive and are taking a hit to their crush slash peirce.
