Probably not Bongs, but that's because in Velious some stupid ratios come out which outweigh the benefits of a fast mainhand weapon. We don't have any 15/21 weapons running around currently.

STR also has the effect of skewing your damage curve upward and making the damage bonus via mainhand speed a bit less relevant.

The question is this: at 100% haste and level 60, a Revultant Whip will cause 950 or so damage per minute just from its damage bonus. An Earthcaller (or CSS, or any 24 delay mainhand) will only cause around 500 damage bonus damage. At what strength level, then, would the harder, slower hits from a better ratio weapon outdamage the guaranteed damage of such a fast weapon?
