Does anyone know where or how I might be able to find this out for certain? Or does anyone have any hard data to support which is true?

You could always test for yourself if you want hard proof.

If you need to know how to read the combat log results:

You gain 1 extra attack through Sword Specialization.
Triggering Swing.
Resulting Swing.

I tested this in *cough* this very same thread:

38 minutes of me wielding dragonstrike and nothing offhanded while attacking a servant. Hope it helps; if there is anything else I can do or should have done different, let me know.

Yes, that is the accepted theory, and is rather easily proven by looking at logs. You will see the extra attack message, then the OH swing for 300ish and the MH swing for 800ish (that is with my gear).

However can we keep the rest of the thread for actual testing and maths please?

EDIT: bah, missed the 5th page, seems others beat me to answering

Haste Procs: 30
Uptime Periods: 27
Total Swings: 896
Proc Rate: 0.0334821428571
Proc Std. Dev: 0.00600976595163
Proc rate lies between 0.021703001592 and 0.0452612841223

PPM Values
-----------------------------
Mean: 0.744047619048
Min: 0.482288924266
Max: 1.00580631383

Given that pretty much all procs seem to turn out to be 1 PPM, and that it's within the range, I'm guessing 1 PPM. But I'd need a longer sample to confirm it.

A longer sample it is then. Will post when I'm done.

Edit: http://www.roflwut.com/dragonstrike2.rar
There are 2 discrepancies in the entire hour and 45 minutes, one where I accidentally hit blind, and another where I accidentally stopped autoattacking. Hopefully the data is still sufficient.
