But if you drop more than a few %points, the gap gets very wide and faith wins out by a large amount.

Often times, the damage calculation for windforce and faith are so close that dropping even a few %to hit will be significant to lower windforce's damage to below what a faiths would be. The reason for this is that your level is taken into account in the "to hit" calculation. With windforce, if your level is lower (say, 90 or below) you will frequently miss even trash mobs (unless your charms are insane). Part of the reason for this is that faith has the mod "Ignore Target's Defense". It's allows the most flexibility with gear and has the most damage for everything except the absolute most insane gear setups. Wearing Faith yourself with a act 2 might merc wearing pride is my default recommendation. It's a complex issue and will depend heavily on the other gear you have available.
