oath runeword for frenzy - scourge or mallet?

hello, i'm interested in making a frenzy barb and i am thinking of going the mace route. however, instead of two stormlashes, i am considering going with one stormlash and one oath runeword made in an ethereal mace. i will be using marrow walks to pump up the bone spear damage. i found two ethereal maces that will do the trick, a 4os ethereal scourge and an ethereal legendary mallet.

with likely equipment, i will only be able to frenzy at 5.5 frames with the oath mallet, but will be able to make 5 frames with the oath scourge in the second hand. however, the mallet does significantly more damage at the price of half of a frame in attack speed. which is the better choice? your opinions please.

Between those two, your only choice is the scourge, since oath doesn't work in the legendary mallet.

why oath doesnt work on lengendary mallet?
because if you read the fine print at the arreat summit runewords page, a legendary mallet is technically a "hammer" and not a "mace" with respect to the runewords. thank you pucho again for pointing me toward the light.
