"Watts per second" would be the same as "Joules per second per second".

You'd use that monstrosity to describe how fast the rate of energy consumption

or dissipation is growing or shrinking.

We really have to twist our arm behind our own back to come up with that, and

in our practice of Electrical Engineering for the past 37 years, we've never seen

that unit needed or used. It's probably safe to say that such a unit has no physical

significance or practical application.
