Double strike is better than heavy strike when...

1) Enemies have reflect and you deal damage.
2) You want to apply X on hit /crit
3) You want to use Claws/Dagger, or to dual wield.

if #3 (the dw part of the statement), use dual strike instead... no damage penalty.

i can't find anything on this:

according to the wiki:

"Dual Wielding: This skill will only attack with the main hand weapon while dual wielding."

does that mean that second weapon becomes just a stat stick?

so i could p.e. use a big dps one hander on one hand and a slow/bad weapon on the other and the only differance would be that my first weapon would get a 10%more AS (from dualwielding)

because the tooltip seems to add everything toghether and mash them up, (but on the other hand tooltips aren't always accurate)

I've always thought X dps weapon + Aurumvorox or some other pure +stat/res/whatever 1h'er would be pretty cool. A max roll Aurumvorox gives 60 res all, that's insane. You get 20% reduced rarity with that but with 60 res all you can free up plenty of rarity spots on other gear.

I've been digging around but I can't find the answer I'm looking for. How does Double Strike interact with attack speed and also how does it interact with Multistrike?

If I have a 1 APS weapon, with no other modifiers to Attack Speed from any source. Does Double Strike effectively double that APS? Am I performing 2 attacks in the same amount of time or am I performing 2 'quick' attacks that may take slightly longer?

If I add Multistrike to that, am I now attacking 6 times in 1 second? or does Multistrike simply utilize the 'more Attack Speed' modifier displayed on the gem?

Double Strike hits twice in the same timeframe as the default attack. You'll hit two times per second.
Multistrike simply grants multiplicative IAS and repeats the skill thrice.
