This is assuming we're talking about rogues. You didn't specify class.

Divide damage by delay. The higher ratio wins for offhand. There's nothing else to consider when picking out a rogue offhand, unless the weapon ratios are very similar. In that case you just pick the delay you prefer.

17/34 = .5
13/24 = .541

That might not seem like a big difference, but the best Kunark rogue offhand has a .615 ratio. The blade is significantly better.

Delay doesn't mean shit in the offhand.

If you like doing sub par damage, yes. Main hand delay is independent of off hand delay. Delay does matter. Unless you're on red. Then damage > all for jousting.
