With the upcoming CU approaching fast I really have no clue on what to expect besides the Profession mods with needing different trees to master a Melee Profession. My main question is about the current weapons. WILL THEY ALL JUST BECOME JUNK? I have heard of new speed limitation with warm up/cool down and even AP going away.I was curious if weapons we have now will still be useful if they have a really nice speed to them. Lets say sub 2.0 speed? Any insight would be wonderful and if you know where this information can be found and/or a link would be great as well.

Blair said in his Dev Blog that if it's a good weapon now, it will still be a good weapon after the converstion after the CU.
I'd expect though that the conversion is still going to annoy alot of people. At the moment a high end weapon is considerably more powerfull than a normal one. I think -and this is only my personal thoughts- that the Dev's will scale things down a bit. Tighten the spread a bit if you will, to stop those uber weapons being quite so devastating as they can be at the moment.

/agree
if they don't do so, we're goin' to have each one a legendary weapon in a few months (as drop rates are really higher these times) 
I just think it will be a great to lower all this (keeping a scale indeed)

Specifically:
"Many of you are concerned about weapons. In many cases the speed and damage values of your weapons will change. As part of the conversion, we are maintaining the scale of all the weapons across the servers. This means, that if you had one of the most powerful weapons on the server before CU, you will still have one of the most powerful weapons on the server after CU. Though it is likely the stats will have been altered."

So is speed going to play a major role now with weapons? The only reason why i'm asking is because with the removal of AP, I just dont know if I should sell my Vibro Axe. Its 1.6spd 410-962 w/o PU. Im hoping with the speed being as fast as it is and with AP no longer being an issue as well as kin damage, it will be benificial that I keep it on the hopes it doesnt get nerfed to high heaven,
