The only time I've started to really want a fast 1h/OH combo and +atkspd gloves/ring is for boss fights in act 4 hell while solo.
Now I play during a lot of off-hours due to work insanity so many of my friends usually aren't down to do a lot of grinding when I get home at 1am est/5am est, so I find myself doing the last few boss fights in Hell solo.
My example thus far where I needed to switch things up is Rakanoth. I was using a 450dps 2 hander and a infinite bat spec with a gargantuan and Templar follower. Now I had about 6k dps at this point and 28k health. Though he just died too fast and I was doing a lot of trying to avoid his teleport gib. The first wouldn't kill me, but the inevitable second one would. Especially once my Templar/Garg died(even the second time).
So I went out, spent 100k, got a quick 600dps fast 1h and a good OH, went up to 12k dps(now obviously that might have helped) with some atk speed gloves and ring. Went to a burn spec:
Darts/BBV/Fetishes/Fire Locust/Haunt/Garg w/enrage
And then I had him dead before the first gargantuan died. Now this seems to be just a case of upping my dps, but he did teleport before I killed him once, and with the fast 1h I was able to get more hits off before he TP'd, and got more off while stutter stepping after the TP.
I don't think I would like this kind of spec/weapon combo going up against champs who were fast especially without soul walk in there, or Siphon to buff my overall sustained dps/healing. But for a quick burn boss fight, I think fast/burn is the way to go. Especially in my circumstance of being solo.
