I plan to use these skills in my build with dual wielding spears.
The attack speed bonuses are listed below:-
Bonus from dual wield-15%
Bonus from weapon master-10%-20%(i am dual wielding spears so will i get 10x2=20% attack speed?)
Bonus from frenzy-15%-75%(depending on muber of stacks)
Bonus from wrath of the berserker-25%
So i have a potential attack speed increase of 65%-135%.
But i have a doubt.Do the spears have any range?When i played diablo 2 with spears and i was always out of enemies's reach due to the awesome range.But i saw a beta video and it did not appear as though the spears had any range.They appeared to have the range of just any other weapon.If the spears have the range like diablo 2 though i am ready to play with them even if they only gave me 0.5 attacks per second.

each spear will have an individual attack speed so weapon master will increase each spears attack speed by 10%. Spears act as any other melee weapon in terms of range.
Spears (as seen in the beta) are not actually spears. They are called javelins. I suspect (as in D2) Spears will be a polearm class weapon, which cannot be dual wielded. These will provide the extra range you want, but not the attack speed boost (they are also quite slow).

In D2, spears are NOT polearms and polearms are NOT spears.
Proof: Try putting the Insight runeword into a spear or trident.

Okay, I concede. But the attack animation/speed was so similar I just assumed...

Frenzy increases your Frenzy attack speed not your overall attack speed.
Yes this is correct. If this was not the case, then you could fury to max stacks and then spam bash or HOTA or some other high dmg spell at frenzy speeds.

Since everyone seems to be covering the % attack speed.... The 2nd part of your question was about the animation correct? I'm afraid to say that I don't think it will be a greater range than most weapons, the only ones like that seem to be the 2-handers, and even then I'm unsure, I personally use one handers, but test this weekend and find out for yourself :D!
