Does this mean no more spell power weapons?

Scaling Values:
From a spreadsheet that i believe is mostly correct, given a spec with Seals of the Pure but not reckoning:
Note that the first stat (TPS) is before buffs, and the 2nd stat (TPS per iPoint) = after kings/divine strength and shows the threat per relative value of the stat.

Both Seals:
1 Weapon DPS = 2.1 TPS
1 BV = 1.41 TPS = 2.56 TPS per iPoint
Using SOR:
1 AP = 0.45 TPS = 0.9 TPS per iPoint
1 SP = 0.4 TPS = 0.47 TPS per iPoint
1 Str = 1.49 TPS = 1.88 TPS per iPoint.
1 Sta = 0.133 TPS = 0.225 TPS per iPoint
1 Sec weapon speed = 44 TPS (slower = more threat, due to SOR procs on HotR and SotR)

Using SOV:
1 AP = 0.5 TPS = 1 TPS per iPoint
1 SP = .38 TPS = 0.44 TPS per iPoint
1 Str = 1.66 TPS = 2.1 TPS per iPoint
1 Sta = 0.114 TPS = 0.21 TPS per iPoint
1 Sec weapon speed = 3 TPS

Thus as an edit to my previous post, using SOV and an epic spellpower weapon:
1 DPS = 2.1 TPS as melee weapon
1 Sac DPS = (7*0.38 ) = 2.66 TPS as a spellpower weapon.
Which puts spellpower on a weapon as the best scaling stat, followed by block value and strength.

I think someone already pointed it out here, but reiteration can't hurt:

Hammer of the Righteous hasn't changed from the previous build other than the tooltip wording.


(WpnDPS + AP / 14) * 2.5 * 1.2 = (WpnDPS + AP / 14) * 3.0

so it seems we would need something more like 5-6 times dps for dps weapons to put more tps than a spell power weapon -.-

would spellpower wpns still be the way to go? cause i cant see a wpn with enough strength/AP on it to overcome the 200+ dmg on the caster wpns? or would the 40-50 DPS on the melee wpns make up that difference?

Bottom line, when 3.0 hits do i use my pink pom pom or do i use warrior weapon. I dont see the pom pom losing out here.

For anyone considering using our Pink Lollipop still after 3.0... if you want a true Spell Power weapon, make sure your Healing Mace isn't a better option.
For example, a Hammer of Judgement with Spellpower comes to 276 total Spell Power, 33 Stamina and 22 Hit Rating. Gavel of Naaru Blessings enchanted with +Healing comes out to 290 Spell Power (247 + 43) and has 45 Stamina. Depending on your gear, you might consider using your "healing" Mace instead of your "Spell Damage" Mace.
