    Complex Math Question

    Hello, my name is Syz and I suck at math.

    I'm wondering what is more DPS and/or enmity efficient for tank openers -

    A. WAR MT Unchained opener + DRK OT w/ full DPS opener

    or

    B. WAR OT x3 Cleave opener + Shadewalkered Gritless DRK MT w/ 1x Power Slash DPS opener (substitute the first Souleater for Powerslash instead).

    My gut tells me the former is weaker in DPS (-5% and less Cleaves for WAR, no procs for DRK), but that the latter doesn't generate enough hate against things like MCH or DRG burst.

    If someone numerically inclined could provide some numbers for both enmity and DPS on both these scenarios that'd be pretty cool =]

    Also if my suspicions are correct and B. is indeed superior on the DPS front but is lacking in enmity assuming both tanks remain out of stance, is there a way to modify it (perhaps an extra Power Slash? or a variance in the NIN's opener?) that would push it above the threshold to maintain a hate lead anywhere near what the Unchained opener can provide?

    P.S. Not looking for opinions or hearsay or preference, just cold, hard numbers/facts.
