Consider the extreme case: 10.0 speed MH, 0.1 speed OH. 1% of your swings will be from your MH, as will 1% of your WF procs. That doesn't change the fact that there's only a 4.08e-9% chance that a MH swing will result in a proc in this case.

Yeah, point taken, that definitely could have been worded better. My test demonstrates the ratio of MH:OH procs; it shows absolutely nothing about the ratio of MH procs:white MH swings. That's not what I meant and I can't figure out why the hell I wrote it that way.
The point of the test was to debunk the idea that MH proc rate suffers disproportionally to OH proc rate when dual-wielding with a fast offhand. I've seen more than one person say, "I barely see mainhand procs with wf5/wf5, just offhand," and I've usually seen that cited as the reason for avoiding fast offhands. That test was to debunk that particular explanation for slow offhands being better, not to debunk every explanation for slow offhands being better.
Sorry if that was unclear.
