Rockbiter is more effective on fast weapons and flametongue on slower weapons.
Ice i guess is better on fast weapons for more procs. What about windfury? more procs with faster weps but with slower higher damage weps you get a big bonus from the proc.
Rockbiter is equally effective on all weapons. All it does is add ap so its the same on both. Flametongue will hit more on fast weapons but not as hard so it's not nessecairaly more effective on fast. Ice is on a ppm(procs per minute)scale meaning it will proc the same amount regardless of weapon speed. Windfury has a "hidden cooldown" of 3 seconds meaning you can't get 2 windfury procs in rapid succesion there fore it's better on weapons closer to a 3 second speed.

What are the calculations for rockbiter? its adds [let say the 6th rank] 28dps. So what does that mean overall?
28 dps is the equivalent of 342 ap. ap will give you more damage per hit. To find it use this formula. Attack Power x Weapon Speed / 14. so a weapon with a speed of 2 seconds will have 48 damage added to each hit.

flametongue does more damage per swing with slower weapons. Does that mean that each time i hit something the damage goes up everytime? if i attack something else is it carried on [only going when combat ends] or it restarts from the standard?
Not sure what your'e trying to ask. Flametongue instead of adding damage to your weapon will add it's own damage. in essence it will cast a spell after every hit doing (for instance in rank 7) 40.4 to 124.3 (not taking weapon speed into account). to find the damage per hit with speed acounted for this is the formula ive gotten from wowkiki. im ot sure exactly where the first number in the formula comes from but at lvl 70 this is the formula. 28 * weaponspeed + spellpower / 10. with a weapon speed of 2.00 the damage is 56.

And does anyone dual wield daggers? Most shamans are dual wielding maces. Whats the difference between 2h axes and maces? Maces more damge but slower and axes faster but less damage?
Most shaman duelwield a slow main hand and a fast off hand. The slow main hand will give you the max damage from windfury. The fast off hand will give more chances for unleashed rage to proc and more mana regained from shammy rage. theres no difference between axes and maces.

any other data, anything you want to add about weapons for shamans please go ahead and post about it.
My personal opinion is wf main hand rb off hand.
