iirc most of our dps AAs are related to 2H - increase of double attacks is one of those AAs - i.e. boost of double/tripple attacks by AAs will level the faster swings of 1H in comparisson to 2H.
I can't show parses as evidence - but I often camped undeads in arcstone and nowadays have camped the undeads in direwind - if I use BoFF+Shield compared to epic 2.0 auged dmg+5 I end up killing more mobs in same time using epic 2.0 - my assumption is - the non-slay dps of epic 2.0 is much higher than BoFF and the 3-5% more slays I will get with BoFF wont cope that. In addition slays of epic 2.0 quite often are 10k+ whereas slays from BoFF tend to be 5-10k
Next time I camp undeads in direwind I will log hits and fight 20 mobs with epic and 20 with BoFF - small sample but better than nothing.

Unless something odd is happening, I would expect the weapon with the larger ratio (Dmg/Dly) to have higher slay DPS as the DamageBonus is a rather small portion of each slay. Additionally Slay DPS does not trivialize normal swing DPS so in general 2h>1h on undead.
I may be remembering this incorrectly, but as I recall both the additional swing AA lines also affect 1h weapons?

have been to direwind undead camp for 3h - tried to run the samples - but after killing 3 mobs with BoFF I was run out of mana (12,5k) due to the lacking dps. Had a total of 3 slays on 3 mobs with 20k damage - average normal hit 250. Had to recast WoT twice per mob.
Rest of time I used epic 2.0 - 2-3 slays per mob ( 33% <10k / 33% 10-15k / 33% 16+k most 16619) - most normal hits 772 crits 2048. Had to recast WoT once in less than half of mobs. Could kill 6 mobs at least without need of medding mana.

basically agree micker - but this camp is often occupied by paladins soloing - i talked to each i met there - all used epic 2.0 over boff - same reasons i stated - may be BoFF procs more, but higher base dps of epic 2.0 + higher slays of epic 2.0 out-dps Boff
