For MTs in MC/BWL anyway. In smaller groups Quel might be better. The reason for this is rage generation in high damage boss fights. The reason for this is that the 0.1 attk speed difference between them makes a big difference when your rage generation if high enough to Heroic strike on every hit (as is the case with the tougher boss fights).
The DPS:
The difference between their default dps is 52.5-48.2 = 4.3 dps, but after heroic strike:
((138+64+138+119)/2)/1.9=120.8 dps
((138+84+138+126)/2)/2=121.5 dps
difference=0.7 dps
or... after a dense sharpening stone is applied:
((138+64+8+138+119+
/2)/1.9=125.0 dps
((138+84+8+138+126+
/2)/2=125.5 dps
difference=0.5 dps
After the +dmg from attk power, the dps difference between the two becomes about 1/4%.
The Stamina
Bloodlord's Defender has 3 more... clear win.
The Threat Generation
Since the speed difference is in favor of the Defender, and you get to use more Heroic Strikes (which generates a "High Amount of Threat"), 5% more.
At the same time, the dps is a litte higher even after HS on Quel, so depending on exactly how threat works (how much dmg itself deals vs how much the Heroic Strike ability does as an ability), one or the other could be a little better.
The Defense
The most important thing that Defense is for is prevention of spike damage (crits). The great thing about this sword is that it stays constant. It is silly to have (sorry if this makes your brain hurt) spike-spike damage prevention. It leaves room for unwanted death-touches.
Now even if you ignore the inconsistant defense, if you average it out 13 for 10 sec proc vs 4 permanently means that the proc will have to happen once every 32.5 seconds to be better on average.
The Armor
Although steadily high armor is important at the high numbers, It does not matter much when the difference is so small. All it really does is change the overall amount of healing needed throughout the fight. Because of this you can just use the average value for the the armor on the proc. As such, if it procs more than once every 37.5 seconds, Quel is the better choice, otherwise, it is the Defender.
Conclusion
They are darn close. Personally I have been farming Forors for the past 2.5 months without luck and am now going into ZG as much as I can on top of farming DM... whichever drops first wins in my book.
