I have had a look at through the forums and can't seem to find a good answer for this. If I go DW'ing on the DK, what 1h speed weapons should i be looking at? On my rogue I use a slow 1h in my mainhand and fast in Offhand, is this the same for DK's or are they best with x2 fast weapons, or x2 slow weapons.
Thanks in advance for any replies :)

Yeah, 2x slow. Slow weapons make your strikes hit harder, as theyre all based on weapon speed, and as of Threat of Thassarian a slow offhand is needed too.

does that apply for tanks as well?
I'm frost atm, lvl 63, so i dont have the rune of the nerubian carapace. I'm using swordbreaking for the parry and razorice for the frost vulnerability, and ii've been wondering about differing one handed speeds for tanking.
All
the 1h tank weapons at 80 are pretty fast, 1.5-1.8 speeds, so I'm a little confused.

That has been covered numerous times. Do some research.
Slow dps weapons win on threat. By a lot. When going for content with dps of your same gear level, you NEED slow weapons. Otherwise you will lose aggro almost instantly.
Fast tanking weapons if you completely outgear the dps in the raid and you just want the little bit of extra avoidance/mitigation.

Generally 2.5 or slower, go for the weapon damage over the weapon speed though.
Since you are DWing I am assuming you are going Frost. This will probably help you out a bit.

I think it's because your standard 1h Tank weapon is designed to go along with a Shield and the associated tanking tools Pally's and Warriors have.
DW Frost Tanks use the same weapons as their DW Frost DPS brothers and sisters since a bulk of the threat they generate is purely off damage, and the threat boost Frost Presence adds from it.
