@Nox I do not believe that delay affects rate of backstab, although I haven't tested this. However, I do believe that haste does affect rate of backstab, and would be interested in seeing some data to corroborate or disprove this hypothesis.

I switched my Gloomwater Harpoon to my main hand last night and used an Obsidian Shard or Jambiya in my offhand, depending on whether I wanted to use a proc or not. No problems with aggro at all.

As far as delay affecting rate of backstab, I did not notice a difference. Now, I don't have any hard data to back that up, but I seemed to be able to backstab just as often as before even though the poon's delay is greater. I did notice an overall delay in normal attacks, but that is to be expected.

Also, as expected, increasing my main hand weapon damage from 8 to 9, did increase my backstab amount. I think I was maxing out around 86 points where I was only getting 81 before making the switch.
