Im not sure if the amount of experience being awarded for throwing a weapon with a 7-8 second RT is accurate. It takes me far less time to get 2HE up (Similar RT). I've only noticed the slow experience gain in the 33-45 skill range thus far. In 10 throws (to kill) I gained 3 learning rates. In another round I threw 7 times with a pulse only gaining 2 learning rates. If on average I gained 3 learning rates per 8 throws (Disregarding pulses) It would take roughly 12 minutes of back to back throwing to get to mind lock. If I were to compare it to the new experience of Crossbows (Using a light Xbow). An average 10 second load with a 6 second aim and 1 second shot - For rounding sake lets say 20 seconds - I gain anywhere from 6-9 learning ranks.

Im not sure in which window you want combat learning to be, but this is brutal for anyone trying to keep a larger quantity of weapons moving at once.

Any recommendations on a HT throwing weapon that I could possibly get that kind of RT on?

Are you able to retrieve the spear from the critter when stuck?

Sorry for the double post, but I guess knowing that I have 30 strength and 33 stamina is important in figuring out if you'll get a similar RT or will have fatigue issues(I don't, even spamming throw with no breaks).
