Let's try this again, because apparently my first comment got deleted accidentally.

All of Allison's suggestions for Actodd are very muchly appropriate, but she leaves out an entire class of weapons: 2-Handed Maces. If Actodd is looking for an entry-level DPS weapon, I'd actually suggest picking up a Titansteel Destroyer. It's crafted, it's got a little more AP than the Staff of Trickery, and for what it's lacking in Critical Strike, it more than makes up for in Hit Rating.

Additionally, some of the 2-Handed Mace drops in Naxxramas cannot simply be skimmed over, especially for DPSing. Check out Demise, The Jawbone, and (this one you'd really want to pick up, if you were lucky enough) Inevitable Defeat. The 2-Handed Maces tend to be lacking in AGI/Critical Strike (though not entirely) as compared to the Polearms and Staves, but the STR will be multiplied by Kings (which is super) and the Expertise is superior for both DPS purposes AND for tanking.

I did an extensive write up about Cat weaponry at Unbearably HoT:

The title is just a gag. Hope this helps (and stays posted this time).
