It's not about the damage a swing does, more the damage it could have done. Iirc a swing does 2(?)x dmg + damage bonus in hate.

Damage bonus is determined by your level (about (level-25)/3 ). This is why at high levels fast weapons are often such good choices; dmg/delay is fairly consistent across weapons but damage bonus/delay favours speed.

This is correct, but it's just (DMG + Bonus), no 2x. The 1H bonus at level 50 for melee classes is 8. Offhand gets no bonus.

Addressing adjes' example:
Bladed Thulian Claws (5/19)
5+8=13 per swing
Assuming a haste cap of 74%:
60/((19/(1.74))/10)=55 swings per minute
13*55=715 hate per minute

Jambiya (7/26)
7+8=15 per swing
60/((26/(1.74))/10)=40 swings per minute
15*40=600 hate per minute

Claws are better in the main hand.
