slower weapons have a greater dmg bonus its not a flat rate

For 1H, it IS a flat rate, its only a scaling bonus for 2H weapons.

Therefore, assuming two weapons of equal DPS, put the faster one in your MH for better overall damage.

The rule of thumb is faster weapon in primary, higher DPS in secondary. This will hold true when both weapons are approximately the same DPS. For the full formula, see Game Mechanics for Melee Damage.
