Yep... WF is best used with fast weapons as it will proc more often in a shorter amount of time. For slow weapons you COULD use WF as well as it's a percentage to proc but it will proc much less in the same amount of time, so less DPS.
No, it has a flat chance of proccing (faster weapons get more procs, but slower weapons get heavier hits, same DPS) and attack power's bonus damage is scaled to your weapon speed (again, same DPS). Ergo weapon speed has no bearing on Windfury DPS unless you are Enhance specced and have Flurry. In that case faster weapons give you stabler uptime. However, if you are Enhance you use a 2H because those have better innate DPS than a 1H. And if you have Stormstrike, the 2H wins out with instant attacks. Slower weapons are also preferred for the burst damage. A 2H WF also has a way of going SURPRISE and immediately killing or making someone lose the majority of their health, which if it's a 0/30/21 can get followed with a trinket NS Chain Lightning and kill someone before they realize what happened. Faster weapons by contrast lack the scary damage spikes that let you kill someone faster than they can respond and heal themselves.
