Is there a site with reliable stat weights to compare these two? You've got the haste of the sword and free expertise (if human) against the 2 ilevels of the axe and the sha gem/socket

Don't forget that you can throw the extra socket on all new 5.2 weapons.
Not impossible for me o_o;

LFR-GSoFH:
+671 Haste
N-Shin'ka 2/2:
+36 Sta
+523 Str
+552 Mastery
+95 Crit
+88.9 Melee DPS
+255 Melee Min Damage
+384 Melee Max Damage
I don't know why I wrote my statement, probably I was drunk or something.
You can get the stat +/- between the two, but stat weights that you may have for your character now will adjust in 5.2. Attack speed goes up for frost, makes weapon damage worth even more, etc.
Still, if the only gain on the other weapon is some haste at the expense of all that other stuff, then there's no way it's better :P Which is weird, cause I am pretty sure normal mode Throne weapons are better than heroic Sha weapons.
Yes, because normal mode is 522/528. LFR is only 502.
Honestly, I wouldn't stress too much about the weapons. Their ilvl's are almost identical (504 v. 502) so weapon damage differences are minimal. 2/2 normal Shin'ka probably wins out because of raw attack power gains.
It's not even a contest, 2/2 Shin'ka is significantly better.
Answered your own question.2 ilevels
GSFH drops from trash though, right? So just do trash runs in normal mode and get the 522 version which will blow Shin'ka away.
OMG 13:37 - Then Jesus said to His disciples, "Cleave unto me, and I shall grant to thee the blessing of eternal salvation."
And His disciples said unto Him, "Can we get Kings instead?"
