Lucy's has the updated melee table. The dmg bonus is accurate by the weapons I've checked using crit/melee subtraction.

https://lucy.allakhazam.com/dmgbonus.html?setcookie=1

Main hand: 2xdmg + dmg bonus / Delay
Offhand: 2xdmg/ Delay

You should probably always use a factor of less than 100% for the offhand as it's not a 1/1 swing ratio to the MH (even with capped DW skill). I usually do like 80% just because.

In general 2h with a far better ratio would scale ahead of DW from like 30 to 50 unless you had amazing 1h's. 2h has always been competitive due to the available ratios but now with the scaling bonus it's just next-level.

Not to say DW isnt solid, or cant be. You're just going to work very hard to keep up. Any goofball who can loot a 1.15 ratio 2h out of ToV can keep up with very good DW setups. Those 2h's tend to be much cheaper dkp too. Outside raiding I'm not even sure a near 1/1 ratio weapon parses that badly compared to say a SboZ and Swiftwind at 60, if you have really good haste.

For just DPS against a raid mob though, faster main hand is generally better. One confounding factor, however, is at 15 weapon dmg, the min hit becomes 2 instead of 1, so a >= 15 dmg weapon gets an extra edge over a <= 14 dmg weapon.
Yea there are some odd weapons like the Blam Stick which calculate out only slightly worse on low AC stuff to a SBOZ. That quick math though is pretty good way to compare two mainhands. Compared to parsing for like 20 mins.
