Well, all the testing was done by rogues, so, yeah, it was all dual wielders. It would be interesting to have a single-wielder run some tests to see if the same thing applies.

If you want to read the full analysis, swing by the rogue dps thread (Rogue DPS Spreadsheet) and check out the posts in the late 800s and 900s.... post 972 has a reasonable summary of the specifics. The short version is:

The only model we came up with that accurately reflects all data we took was that hit rating gives the usual 1% hit for every 15.77 hit rating; weapon skill gives .1% hit; and the base miss chance against a level 73 mob is 25.5% (versus 24% for a level 70).

The recommended methodology for single wield would be to test at a range of hit ratings and pinpoint when you stop missing (which will take a couple thousand swings to determine for certain), and use that to reverse engineer what the base miss chance is.
