DW isn't a proc. DW is a skill check. It is a calculation performed at (DWSkill+Level)/500=DWChance. A 60 ranger has a 60% ((240+60)=300, 300/500=.6, so 60%) chance to dual wield per swing attempt. A 24 delay weapon will attempt a DW check in the offhand every 2.4 seconds regardless of mainhand attack delay. You simply want the faster mainhand weapon because the damage bonus is a static value which is applied more with a faster weapon. This is why a Revultant Whip (5/14) probably comes close to out damaging most high-end kunark weapons - that static damage bonus.
They have a further check for Double Attack (59%@(235+60/500)=.59) regardless of which hand swings. This is how you can double attack off the mainhand and then a half a second later off the offhand with two different weapon delays.
It should be noted that DASkill needs to be >150 to attempt a double attack from the offhand.
