G2HF worth it ?

[Anthios888]

Dear Abby,

I have a dwarven max strength battlecleric (31 unbuffed str now, 34 at cap). I had planned to stay 19 cleric / 1 fighter and possibly re-spec out of the fighter level if warpriest offers martial weapon proficiency and full respec is offered, because I find my fighter splash does less for me now than it did at lower levels, and each cleric level gives me a boatload of mana and access to more spell slots.

Today's change has me re-thinking the decision. I melee a lot, including against all raid bosses, using maximized mass heals to easily keep the party up. Boosting my melee damage after a certain point has become increasingly more difficult and I have been relying on guard items and twitch 2-handed fighting to increase my DPS. At this point, raising my DPS is my priority if it is worth the investment.

The option I am considering: 18 cleric / 2 fighter, which gives me room for all three 2H feats including Greater Two Handed Fighting at the expense of empower spell (rarely used), 1 spell pen, worse spell selection, around 1-200 mana (not a huge issue - I have Torc, 3 sets of Abbot gloves and other mana clickies, tons of concordant opposition, etc). The extra fighter level would also let me reach the next strength bracket more easily.

So - HOW MUCH DPS is it?! Glancing blows, glancing proc effects.. anyone have an idea? Assume 36 STR with greataxes.

I can post the full build if anyone is interested.

Assuming 130 swings/minute and your average glancing blow is 30, it adds about 19 dps(3ish from the GTHF glancing blow damage bump, 16ish from the extra glancing blow)/target.
