Double Attack will only yield one extra hit per activation even if using a multi-hit weapon such as Soboro Sukehiro or Kraken Club

You're reading it wrong.

It means that a 2-3 hit weapon can do up to 4 hits, but not 6 hits by getting a double attack on each hit. It does not mean that getting a double attack will only do 2 hits on the weapon.

/war isn't effective for kraken/octave because 8 is the max hit you can get per round and kraken goes up to that already.

Nah. Really, it's been parsed. Double attack can activate, but it will take the place of a multi-hit, resulting in two-hits. Multi-hits are counted as one hit, and thus will not stack. /WAR isn't effective for Kraken/Octave because it gives you a ~25% chance of only hitting twice, rather than randomly between 1~8. The max is 8 though, you're right about that. (Hence the speculation as to whether or not double attack can proc. on Asuran Fists, and thus how Brutal Earring shouldn't be worn during it.)

Well I'm gonna need to go test this sometime ;|

Any suggestions as to someplace I can go drk/war and beat up on the same mob for a long time and not have any chances of dying?

Stuff like Kraken Club, Joyeuse, Octave Club, BZ, Ridill and Mercurial Kris cannot double attack on their "Occasionally attacks x to x times.". Instead, they can double attack, and that double attack can replace the "Occasional etc.", since it is accounted for first.

Tests have been done, people have owned these weapons for a long time. Would you wear Brutal with Ridill/Joyeuse? I hope not.

Jailer Weapons are different, as they can double attack when a Virtue Stone is used up and attack more than 2 times.
There's really nothing to discuss, it's just how it is.
