Consider the differences between Golden Dragonfly and Headsplitter in PvP: GD takes only 66% of the time that HS takes to animate and yet deals 83% of the damage. In the time that you could get off HS>Dis, you could get off GD>SD>SotW, which, along with having better proc damage thanks to a higher number of attacks and the exact same mitigation capabilities, would deal 456.19 base damage compared to the 407.95 from HS>Dis. |

Pretty much, yes, though, rather than seeing the set become more like Kat, I'd much rather the two sets diverged a bit more, such as doing what I suggested earlier and giving BS a more defensive/mitigation orientation to make up for the offensive advantages that Kat has.
