Another nice thing about buriza is that it does function off of Dexterity for damage, so you can build essentially a "dexadruid" and you then also have better defense and attack rating as well as excellent damage. The real disadvantage is the minimum damage, mine is somewhere around 1200 I think, max is something like 4500 (I'll have to double check those numbers, without poison). And, the freezing is nice, in Hell cows it's a great crowd control booster.

However... I did discover that and IK maul will hit 5 frames with 15% IAS! so if you socket one with an anything/15 IAS jewel, you'll match the speed of the buriza and probably be doing between 500 and 1000 extra average damage per hit. Which is better overall? well, crap, I guess I'll just have to test it. I need to make another druid now with str cranked up instead of dex, and see if the additional damage makes up for the loss of freezing and attack rating...

I'm going to guess though:
My prediction is that they'll both work quite nicely, approximating the same overall speed. Maul slight advantage in regular gameplay, buriza probably slightly better in cows.

Conclusion:
get an additional 15% IAS on your maul, if you haven't already!!!
