weapon augs for 80+ bsts

[Heab]

alright, i'm currently using jagged metal knuckles, which are 57/20, with crystal embeded earthbound stone in them, which gives 3 damage and 2 backstab damage, along with Brutal Enforcer, which is 68/26, with crap ikaav summonstone aug, which adds a 150 fire DD proc. I'm Looking for new augs, and i've heard back and forth about lifetap VS damage augs. Can anyone reccommend one or the other, and a few examples of the better ones (non raid) that i can get, and where to get them?

Yet I'm not sure if there as good as the life tap augs I was using.

I was planing on getting 1 of each of deepsky, deep sky.

I've had some arguments on whats better, Base dmg is constant dmg, normal and crit dmg yet Procs are a % chance to go off and do more direct damage. As to which is the better overall leads to too many factors that does my head in.

Survivability on my young Monk was a lot easier with healing procs in the 50s - 59. Once he hit 60 tho the mobs seems to out dmg those heals. Thus at 65 I switched to the base dmg.

I have a plan that with the 70 weapons I intend to get I might get and use the Life sap augs (deepsky) this will make my weapons both having 2 healing proc each.

Yes I know this is for my monk but my main is my Beastlord. Lol I use my monk as the tester for him.

At lvl 90 I'm aiming to get this http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=93538 best of both worlds.

Edit I play on FV server thus why I can get above Augs

The are always better damage augments available than lifetaps. Lifetaps are about GIVING UP dps in exchange for a little extra healing on yourself. Whether lifetaps are useful to you is more a function of level, playstyle and the content you play in.

Personally, I'm either not tanking or tanking 5K hitters, typically. A few lifetap heals aren't really going affect my survival rate significantly, so I pick my augs to make mobs die faster.

Now whether straight +damage augments, proc DD augments, or certain combo augments give the best dps is a much better debate.
