Well i'm no expert or anything, but in my opinion even a worse dagger would be better in the end, simply because you'd get to the next breakpoint. The effective damage increase is very significant with each breakpoint you reach. DPS isn't a linear scale at all. It's fairly flat, then a big boost for a breakpoint, then fairly flat again until the next breakpoint. If you graph it, it would look like a step chart, rather then a parabola. If anybody cared to do that, a visual graph of barbarian breakpoints and the effective damage results would be very helpful. People just aren't getting it.
I'm was a big D2 player, so for that game we focused entirely on building characters that exactly met but didn't exceed the breakpoints. 86% FHR, or 105% FCR, just as a few examples. But for Diablo 3, maybe because it's a fairly new game still, people just think it's a linear increasing scale and they don't bother with breakpoints.
Eventually that will change...
Yea I know its not linear and a graph would be great, maybe something I could work on
im trying as hard as I can to get every barb aware of it with all my threads but im only one man

and yea ur probs right about the dagger just when I was making this the dagger selection for low buyouts was just non existent so i jus gave and bought the sword
infact, if using 2 rare weapons its probably best to use axe/dagger with my amount if IAS, since you will hit 2.2/2.5 APS with those weaps
