First off, don't sign your post. We know who you are from your profile on the left.

Secondly, this isn't the place for that type of question. The TTT isn't for questions, replies to the article are only meant to advance the article itself by way of correcting it, or making it clearer.

Thirdly, what's with the italics and bold?

Original Post:

I have read most of the posts here (not all, most).

I am also a enhancement shaman currently raiding T5 content.

Some of my observations:
You want double Windfury(WF).
You want to Dual Wield(DW) slow weapons.
Ideally, you don't want your Off Hand(OH) WF to proc as it has less damage than a Main Hand (MH) proc and resets the 3 second internal timer. In this manner, if your OH weapon procs and it is faster there is a chance that it will steal the cooldown from your MH from ever procing.

Here is my question:

If you don't ever want your OH to proc (in an ideal world), can a shaman not simply use a slow (2.6-2.8) MH with WF (maximum damage effect from the WF) and a fast(1.4-1.8) OH weapon with Frostbrand (a nice constant steady 321-322damage)?

I do understand that if a WF proc'ed off your OH then it would be more damage than 321-322 damage from FB... but that in turn steals the potential for the MH to proc... or am I missing something vital in this analysis?

When I attempt to use a weapon setup in line with my theory I seem to get a greater DPS than double WF.

If someone out there could set me on the straight and narrow... Thanks.
