I thought a bit about this. The reason that you want slow weapons is that slow weapons hit harder with windfury.
But this 0.1 mainhand would not waste a lot of windfury time off cd. Seeing as as soon as WF is off the cd, with a fast hitting weapon you will proc a new wf faster.
This is why 2.9 weapons aren't that good. If you Proc wf, you'll "waste" one swing with wf on cd, meaning the first possible new wf will be at 2*2.9s = 5.8s. (Not dualwielding/dualwield same-speed weaps.)
Equally, if you only have flurry for haste, couldn't your mainhand be as fast as 2.2 speed as long as it keeps a high dps, as this will ensure tight timing close after WF cd cools down?
2.2 * 0.7 = 1.54
(This is from a "without impeding dps greatly" viewpoint)
This would tie in with the DPS drop people see when hasting their mainhand past 1.5, and capitalise on always staying in the WF cd "Sweet spot" for your mainhand. My only concern is how the offhand will affect this, and I can't theorycraft too well right now, being at work and all.
