Almost certain the BK weapons aren't working as intended. While Whirlwinding, I'm supposed to gain 30% movespeed and 30% IAS. The 30% move speed does work properly, but the 30% IAS does not work properly.

I think you have to be hitting enemies with your wirlwind for it to work. The buff works for me as long as I'm hitting an enemy with it. Otherwise my attack speed is the same as if I was standing still. I guess it's just bad wording
I don't even see it working, actually. Even in combat. That's my Pain Enhancer proccing giving attack speed. Even when I took it off(Pain Enhancer), there is no difference in attack speed between Whirlwinding in or out of combat.
Edit: Here it is even while in combat without Pain Enhancer equipped.
You sure it doesn't add attack speed to the whirlwind, not the character sheet? best way to try this would be somehow measuring attacks per second with two BK, and then swapping out one of them for a regular mighty weapon, and no weapon with attack speed
I just checked and the speed seems to be the same, regardless of the weapon.
can confirm with bk weapons while standing still i have 1.72 atk speed, while whirlwinding it stays at 1.72
Likely two reasons it doesn't show up on the stat screen. This is all according to Nubtro during the PTR (http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/16858966094#2): #1 the attack speed bonus is multiplicative and #2 the bonus only applies to Whirlwind. #1: multiplicative increases don't show up on the character pane, same deal with Focus/Restraint with your buffs up or the Insanity rune on WotB. #2: works like Frenzy does, where the bonus is not global but only towards a certain ability so isn't reflected in your base attack speed.
