ias is important any time you want to hit something with a weapon, especially with barbs.
Any and all attack mods on a weapon only count for that weapon, so ds, ias, ed%, and all non-passive mods do not count towards the other weapon.
The best gloves for dueling are dracul's, even for ww where the lifetap doesn't get cast.
I'll have to agree with this statment partially. Draculs aren't good not the best. Steelrends, are better. Crushing Blow, ED and STR give you overrall more damage then draculs,a nd draculs are you aren't wearing for the wasted mod.
I agree though IAS is importan theres nothing worse then WWing through a sorc would a good weapon, just to have them laugh at you as they defend againt nearly all your hits because you couldn't get enough ias in your WW to get best possible outcome in damage/speed. I know I've had this happen

It was embarassing to have 4k WW and just have sorc stand there not even lose a sliver of life and still have most of mana shield up. My gf makes a pretty mean FB dueler so i was able to watch her screen and didn't even see her mana drop (she wasn't even a vit sorc -.-) with shield.
Personally, I would do zod, shael, then ED/Ias or jus straight ED's 20ias in a shael gives you 1 socket less ED but also 1 socket less IAS i think s you can have ED/max or another mod possibly
