During the 20s of DS, the number of corruption (or MG-induced corruption ticks) will be ((20/2.0) + (20/1.0))*(1+haste%). ~6k5 haste rating under DS => 57,5% haste, 104,8% with BL : let's assume 60% as a reference. This yields 48 occasions for nightfall to proc, and with 5% avg proc chance, 2.4 procs on average during dark soul (consistent with my in-game experience). The 2P bonus is thus worth 2.4*0.3 ~= 0.7 additional shards / 2 min.
Comments :
Affliction 2P is really crappy, Destruction & Demonology 2P effects look a bit better, but still pretty weak imo. If anyone can provide a reliable estimate of how much additional damage an additional soul shard (resp. burning ember, demonic fury point) is worth, we could easily derive %dps increases, but my guess is <1% for all three specs, <0.5% for affliction.
