Game Mechanics: Minimum Weapon Delay

[Treats]

Should be no minimum delay on weapons. Not sure exactly what it is now but did some tests with a Moss Covered Twig. All tests done on a 54 Monk with Moss Covered Twig in Primary and Fist in Offhand. 225 Double attack (55.8% chance to double attack). Keep in mind some of these calculations are thrown off by double attack chance. Would be best for a Bard to test this with NO double attack.

Test 1 - No FBSS (No Haste) - Haste 100%

153 swings in 101 seconds (Should be 10 delay) Parsed at 9.805
Calculations (10 delay = 1 swing per second)
101 seconds = 101 swings
(101 * .558) + 101 = 157 swings

Test 2 - FBSS - Haste 121%

133 swings in 68 seconds (Should be 8.2644 delay) Parsed at 7.906
Calculations
(68 / .82644) = 82.28 swings without double attack
(82.28 * .558) + 82.28 = 128 swings

Test 3 - FBSS + Aanya's Quickening - Haste 185%

112 swings in 61 seconds (Should be 5.405 delay) Parsed at 8.4722
Calculations
(61 / .84722) = 72.00 swings without double attack
(72 * .558) + 72 = 112.17 swings (Should be around 175)

Test 4 - FBSS + Aanya's Quickening Haste 185%

123 swings in 62 seconds (Should be 5.405 delay) Parsed at 7.8481
Calculations
(62 / .78481) = 79.00 swings without double attack
(79 * .558) + 79 = 123.082 swings (Should be around 175)

With spell haste it seems there is some sort of cap when there shouldn't be. Would really appreciate a Bard testing this.

Bixie Blade Stinger in Plane of Sky used to be a 2/6 weapon - Paladin only. Doesn't really make any sense to have a delay cap at 8 or 9 or 10 or whatever the stupid myth was and then turn around and put in a weapon with 6 delay.
