So I've been facing this problematic many times since I found Thunderfury. So far I have not been using the Tunderfury becasue the "Bonus vs Elite" was too good to give up on.
Current build: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Lars-2526/hero/1098631
This is the Sun Keeper and Thunderfury I have
I took out the socket to compare TF to SK.
I am still able to reroll the Thunderfury, so I can get even more dps with more intelligence if that's what I chose.
But my spekulation is, if the proc will be better for fighting elites and thrash monsters and then switching to SK on boss fights, where 24% more damage will be a huge difference.
Any experts out there?
Switch to the TF and put the emerald in there. You'll do about 20% more regular DPS than the gemmed SK without the legendary proc, and that's both to elites and trash.
Starting the timer just as the sequence is cancled (Min:Sek:MS)
SK:
00:20:267
TF:
00:17:849
Ghom has 274.953.664 hp on Torment 1.
That means SK has 13,5m damage/s and TF has 15,4 damage/s
But those numbers dosn't tell the whole truth. Since I'm getting more apoc if I crit more, which is random. And the more I crit the more WoF I can use. So you'd have to probably do atleast 10 test which each weapon. and take the average damage/s. But that's not something I'm looking into doing at the moment.
I'd wait on the TF reroll until the elemental + weapon % gets a patch. Rerolling the cooldown reduction affix to a weapon damage % is going to do more for the TF than rerolling for more INT.
I've rerolled a SoH with 2200 damage to 2440 dmg because of the weapon % working with non elemental damage. You should be able to get at least into the mid 2300s once they make the patch for elemental damage working with weapon %.

And SK for boss. But I think I'll do a Ghrom test to be sure. Will report back with the test results.

Yes, that means "zap, zap" 300%+ damage twice on a single target, which naturally shoots up eDPS numbers.
Against numerous targets, though, it'll behave normally.
