It also suggests that, at least up to 1.80 APS, there are no diminishing returns. There could easily be diminishing returns at higher APS, because I really have a hard time imagining 10+ APS (that is faster than most machine guns in shooters, ~600 RPM = 10 APS).
Where did you get the info that the +15% DW bonus was addititve with gear bonuses (+%IAS and +APS)? That seems rather counterintuitive to me, and would make dual wield quite a bit weaker if you had a lot of IAS gear.
As far as +APS versus +%IAS, it would be nice to see how these two interact with each other. I agree that additive makes more sense than multiplicative, but you can't assume anything, we need data!
It would also be interesting to see whether mainhand +%IAS/APS could affect your offhand weapon (or vice versa). In D2, IAS on a weapon only affected that weapon. (as opposed to +IAS on gloves and armor, which would affect both your weapons) However, Haste in WoW is the same regardless of source - 50 Haste rating on your mainhand will increase attackspeed on both MH and OH.
If IAS/APS work like Diablo 2, things become complicated because we actually have 4 different sources of attack speed (per weapon):
1) Weapon IAS
2) Weapon APS
3) Armor IAS
4) Armor APS
And it is concievable that any of the four could add or multiply in unpredictable ways.
