White damage doesn't hold aggro against top end dps with many players. You absolutely have to land procs and let people know when you land them. Weapons sub 20 delay also increase the amount of reposts you experience by a large margin. Think about how many 100 hp items do you need to survive one extra repost. Sure, in small man content with suboptimal dps you may find that white damage is enough. Grouping for example you can use a 2H if you have a better haste item. Many times during fights I'm turning off attack if I see a gap in the chain because I don't want to eat an extra repost and it makes a huge difference. Damage here is very predictable, reposts increase that unpredictability by a large margin. If you can hold damage with white aggro its almost always because dps is not going all out, or you are with people who are not top tier.

I don’t disagree with anything you’re saying. I guess I just look at each weapon having 3 aspects: white hate, proc hate, and stats. If you have a couple weapons that hit two out of three you’re probably in good shape. If proc was the only thing that mattered, this would be a simple answer. Every tank would have a WESS main hand and a red blade in their off hand. I just think it’s a little more intricate than that. If we are going to make a list of the top 20 aggro weapons I find it hard to believe Kflame isn’t on it.
