Well not so long ago I got the tanking sword from onyxia with the 2.0 speed on it. I also have the 25 naxx sword off the 4H. (Sorry im not great at remembering my gears name). but anyway it has a 2.5 on it if im not mistaken.
I've been playing with my tanking weapons (those 2, the one from ToC5, The red sword from UP, and Titan gaurd from uldaur) trying to see how to max my Tps.
From my meters My naxx 25 in MH and ony sword if OH (my slower weapons) seemed to work best.
So question is do you guys like to use slower weapons to tank or tend to faster ones.
P.S. I know fasters give more KM procs but with the haste our shaman brings my procs seem to come up very often.

faster shouldn't give more KM procs. They're PPM.

Slow weapons are superior to fast weapons in every possible way.

Dual-wield tanking is only viable (currently) at middle- and high-gear levels. You need enough defense on your other gear to allow you to lose SSG and not have to gem aggressively for defense. If you need tanking weapons to make up for the lost defense, you're probably not quite there yet. Not that you can't do it, or that it won't be fun... just that you'll be gimped for stam (because of gemming defense) and gimped for threat (because you're using fast tanking weapons instead of slow) and gimped for threat even more (because you need 30+ expertise to push dodges off the table with fast weapons).
The Naxx25 sword (broken promise) is an exception, the only slow tanking weapon in the game. At higher levels, you
switch
to
dps
weapons
.
Next patch, all this changes with the new 1h version of the SSG rune.
