I agree with all of that except the part about IAS. You still want that even on a ZV build, because not only does it affect your attack skills, but even with them you are still going to be autoattacking a lot, so you still need an IAS. Oddly enough, if HoF didn't suck so much and could be maintained (I mean seriously, unmaintainable AND located in a useless attribute line? Give me a break; when was the last time anyone even paid ATTENTION to Flail's downside in PvE?), the dervish would be able to outscythe the warrior.
With 3 fast activating attack skills on my bar, I have to auto-attack once, whilst the first skill recharges. That's 1 attack in 4. An IAS is nice, but I don't overly miss it like I do with other physical bars.
With ZV you can basically ditch any Mysticism spec and simply run Whirling Charge - it has reasonable uptime although an annoying upfront 10e cost. Alternatively do what Warriors do and run Frenzy (Flail is for cowards). If you want to use Conviction then you have to accept that you're going to be losing out somewhere for a defensive skill.
