What's better Mace/Echo Mace/Dagger or Echo/Dagger?

At first I thought it was Mace/Echo but http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?841833-WW-Tornado-Barb-OH-Weapon-Test left me with doubts.

Mace/echo is best reasons here : http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=65876510&f=142

I have tested with an ias dagger to hit 3.33 aps on OH side, mace/echo is still best

But why why why why always the mace^^ My playstyle is : no wotb. I simply cant keep it up. Im using an echoing and some +ias gears, so my both aps is 2.18 with mace while with axe its 2.32/2.18. I have those two weapons, and i just dont know which one is better, and why, they seem on screen to be almost the same. What advantages the mace has over the axe ? In fact i could get simillar axe but that would be 1.3 aps. Is it good idea, considering ill most probably never use wotb?^^

Im switching the gem for tests

And, what would be just the best weapons for both 50m ? Am i fine or messed up with weapon setup?^^

What could be the reason of not being able to keep up wotb even with overpower ? 67.5 crit not enough?

bnet site is down atm so cant see profile but

reason why mace is better is because its dmg roll is higher, and this is what tornados get their dmg from comparing your mace vs your axe 549-1169 (mace) vs 372-855 (axe) thats a huge difference

reason you cant keep wotb up is most likely ur playing on too low a monster power and monsters are dying too fast, try mp3-6 depending on your DPS and you should be able to keep it up

if ur gunna stay without WOTB then i suggest keeping mace and getting a bit more ias (you are at 2.18.. the breakpoint is 2.22 so you are close!)
