Add in that every Hemo gets the 2.8 proc chance, and if you're rocking swords every OH swing that procs a MH swing gives another 2.8 proc chance, and you come out with a massively larger proc rate from the MH.
Let's say it's normalized at 1 PPM. You get 21.4 mainhand swings per minute, and 42.8 offhand swings. That means a 2.8 mainhand has ~4.7% chance per swing to proc. A 1.4 offhand would get ~2.35% chance per swing. Add in another 17.1 MH swings per minute from Hemo (ignoring marginal energy gains/losses from finishers), ~1 swing per minute from MH Sword Spec, and ~2 swings per minute from OH Sword Spec. That means you actually get ~41.5 swings per minute, meaning your MH will proc 1.95 times per minute, compared to 1 per minute from the OH. This would change if you use Shiv a lot, but I've never seen that in a consistent ability rotation, so I'll ignore the possibility. Correct me if I'm wrong on this, because it's the assumption I've been running on

You're right. Killars doesn't have a clue how PPMs work if he thinks that his OH is going to be procing the enchant as much as his MH (because of instant attacks) unless he uses shiv as his main attack.... which I wouldn't put past him.
