Why have the DPS on these items not been buffed? Its something so easy to fix. There is no inherent benefit to using them, like +skill damage or anything like that and the roll no where near the DPS of other weapons. Are they just in the game as a giant middle finger to the players. I have gotten tons of yellows and a few legendary items in this category. All went to the vendor.
These weapons are the only ones that can roll resource focused affixes (+spirit regen, life/spirit spent, +mana regen, +mana) for these classes, and I think some +skill bonuses can only be rolled on these as well.
If resouce buffing isn't your thing, don't use them, but they're far from useless, specially when you stack them on multiple gear pieces and on inherently good gear (with decent stats on it already). My WD had 3 gear pieces with mana regen and rougly 40% more mana regen than he had naturally (iirc), which made spamming a lot easier.
I don't know what you mean by their dps being lower. I've seen a ton of 900-1k Fist Weapons and Ceremonial Knives (with other good affixes like Crit Dmg/Socket) on the AH. Their legendaries can also roll decent dmg numbers, so I have no idea what you're talking about.
Mana regen is huge for WDs, and we can only get it on weaps, offhands, helms, and as part of our 4pc set bonus. Also, it comes standard on almost every rare ceremonial knife - you don't have to get lucky to roll it. (I have seen a few CKs without it, my guess is they dropped during an earlier patch when it wasn't guaranteed - regardless they're very rare)

I have a 1014DPS ceremonial knife. What are you talking about?
