You can also see the doubling clearly by setting yourself appropriately and hitting a training dummy with the combat log turned on.
I'm not sure if any other runeforges have any weird doubling effects like this, but I don't believe fallen crusader does as our procs over time have been roughly comparable.

My results:
Simc:
RotFC on mainhand sims 400 dps higher.
RotFC being applied by soul reaper leads to a noticeable increase in uptime, from 74.34% to 76.48%.
Razor ice hits for the same amount on either weapon (835), but is cast more often with razor ice on the mainhand, 497.6 counts versus 466.7. This difference happens to be the exact same numner of soul reapers (31), so we can presume that razor ice change happens because of the lack of SR hits. However, in the sim, this still leads to a net 400 dps loss.
In-game:
Note: Not using log as they seem to not be recording every attack. Recount data will hopefully suffice. Including logs anyway in the hope they show the same trend.
10 minutes on a training dummy, no procs of any kind.
RI in offhand:
Details for Mendenbarr - 19-03 00:41 - Divide - World of Logs
728 melee attacks, 134 miss, 594 melee attacks that actually hit.
291 RI hits
Assuming a perfect ratio of offhand to mainhand attacks, we would expect 297 RI, but whether due to a reporting error or more misses on the offhand, we get 291. Aceptable difference.
RI damage averaged 484.
Tooltip says RI does "2% of weapon damage"
My weapon damage is listed on the weapon as 7334-13623, which averages at 10478.5 damage. 2% of this is 209 damage.
My weapon damage is listed on the character screen as 14025-20313 on the mainhand, and 7012-10157 on the offhand. This averages at 17169 and 8584.5, respectively. 2% of which is 172 and 343 dmg, respectively.
Now, being frost damage, RI is buffed by frost's mastery, which for me is 41.41%, bringing it up to an expected 485 damage, right where it actually is.
Interestingly, RI does not seem to be buffed by RI's debuff on the training dummy.
RI in mainhand:
Details for Mendenbarr - 19-03 00:41 - Divide - World of Logs
758 melee attacks, 149 miss, 609 melee attacks that actually hit.
604 RI hits
This is odd
Assuming a perfect ratio of offhand to mainhand attacks, we would expect 305 RI, we get 302*2. Assuming 302 to 305 is reporting or more misses on mainhand, the number of RI has DOUBLED.
RI damage averaged 485.

Additional data:
RI does not change damage despite swapping to normal rotation, while it procs of every weapon based ability, it remains 485 on average.
RI seems to proc once per non-melee weapon based attack regardless of which weapon has the enchant, with the exception of soul reaper, which I was unable to test on the training dummy, but presume it will only proc when it's on the main-hand.
Conclusion:
RI procs on every weapon based hit when the enchant is on the main-hand weapon, but only procs on either mainhand or offhand (not sure which), when RI is on the offhand. This is not reflected accurately in simC, and napkin maths out to be a 566 dps loss.
If you are concerned about this, please go to the following bug report on battle.net, and state "I am experiencing this as well", and anything else you want to add in.

Edit: In the mean time, RI on mainhand is ahead by about 100 dps, based of my above napkin math, so I's suggest swapping over to it. Not going to update the OP unless this continues to be an issue for at least a week, I hope it will get fixed before then. You can help by going to the above link.
