So threat from 2 handers is less than from 1 handers?
What would be better for holding aggro, the Warrior Epic 1hs dual wield combo or the Warrior Epic 2hs? The latter has higher dps, both have aggro procs. Just as an example. If that's a good example.
Also, if attack speed/delay doesn't affect aggro why was the moss covered twig nerfed and made offhand only? The reason I heard given (some time after the fact) was because a 3/17 mainhand kept aggro too easily.

A 3/10 (not 3/17) mainhand weapon in the hands of a L58 is gonna have modal damage ratio of 17/10 (1.70), and modal damage is what agro is based on. Compared to a Jade Mace at 9/18 which gives 29/18 (1.61) modal at 58+ it's better but not actually amazing, so I don't think agro is why Verant panicked over the twig. More likely that being so fast it was best dps vs. very high AC mobs where you get lots of hits for less than the modal damage and so the damage bonus matters more (esp in hands of a Monk who's hitting the raid boss from behind and so avoiding dodge/parry/riposte).
