Quick question on tank vs dps staff

I usually dps as cat, dual spec as bear tank, and got
The Undeath Carrier
on Sunday. Have the mats for a berserker enchant on it now so gonna put that on. However, I have the
Staff of Trickery
with a mongoose enchant on it from before. Would you keep that for the tank set, or does the extra stats on the Carrier make up for the mongoose enchant?

The Undeath Carrier with Mongoose will be a pretty good DPS weapon as well (see Primal Gore, and Mongoose procs fairly often as well). Probably 15-20 DPS lower than with Berserking, but with Mongoose it will become an excellent hybrid weapon.

Yeah, I put mongoose on my Trickery staff since I didn't have a good 2nd option for tanking, so I made it a hybrid at the time. Well, that and I had the mats for mongoose in the bank from BC days and figured I might as well use them :P
I guess it's a good option to put mongoose on the Carrier maybe. And if Journey drops again for me any time soon I could put berserking on that. But seeing as it dropped on KT on Sunday (without me getting my paws on it), I shouldn't expect seeing it again any time soon :P
Oh, and I was thinking about one thing and wrote another, I have the mats for MASSACRE, not berserking, for the Carrier. Well, I guess I might have the mats for either, but I was opting for putting massacre on it, since I am hoping to upgrade to Journey for dps soon(ish), and massacre is a tad bit cheaper, and I'd have to put mongoose onthe Carrier then. What kind of dps difference is it on massacre vs. berserking?

What kind of dps difference is it on Massacre vs. Berserking?Marginal. Berserking averages to ~135-140 permanent AP. Massacre has the advantage of working permanently. But Rips triggered with Berserking active benefit from the bonus 400 AP (more with talents, but nvm, the idea matters) do quite a hefty bonus damage. If you like RNG, get Berserking. If you don't, go with Massacre.
PS: good luck with that Journey's End!

Hmm.. well, RNG has never seemed to be my friend. I'll stick with massacre for now. And thanks ;-) New chance this week!

why not use the undeath carrier for tanking? (and if you said you would and i just misread, i apologise)
more agi = more dodge/crit/armor
more crit = more savage defense procs
more ap = more mitigation thru savage defense
more stam = well... more stam
seems like an obvious win to me

Yeah, that was kinda my original question, whether the extra stats on the Carrier would make up for the Mongoose enchant on the Trickery staff.
I believe we landed on yes. :-)
I've been thinking a bit though, and I think I'm going to land a mongoose on the Carrier and wait with the massacre/berserking till I get the Journey's End.
