I realize this is an old question, but I'm just curious as to what various opinions on the matter are.

The question is: Is there are real (read proven) benefit to a warrior wielding a faster off-hand?

We aren't trying to proc poisons like a rogue. Granted, abilities like Unbridled Wrath (more rage generation) and to some extent Rampage (quicker to stack to 5) would benefit... but does this outweigh the higher min/max damage of a slower weapon?

If there is need for an example, think 2 GM Longswords vs. Longsword/Swiftblade... or Servo Arm/Ibliss vs. Servo Arm/Castigator.

Keeping flurry up also springs to mind. But I suggest you read through the "DPSwarrior Spreadsheet" thread, it answers almost every question that you could possibly have about warriors dps and dual-wielding.


edit: http://forums.elitistjerks.com/viewtopic.php?id=7030 is the thread I am referring to. Its long, but should provide you with everything you seek.
