P.S. Nobody should be interested in anything but real, P99 data. Copeland's and all other calculators/equations that assume a mirror of live are pretty useless in a conversation like this (in which the margins/differences are pretty thin and are what's in question anyway).

That thin margin between outputs in the EQdpm chart is a result of a
precise but inaccurate equation. Even though p1999 isn't using the live model, it is a decent approximation. So even though the EQdpm chart is wrong (and it is, e.g. damage bonus is off by up to 10), you can still see the weapon choices are roughly equivalent.
I also remember the (apocryphal) delay floor of 9, but since we are speculating, the rumor used to be that monk fists were the one exclusion to that limit. If this is the case on 99, epic fists trump tstaff.
I cannot imagine how you got a tstaff to parse at lower dps than a 9/20 1h. Also, not sure why you wouldn't factor an unresistable 120DD proc into your dps calculations. Can't really call my numbers suspect if this is what you're working with.
