Q about skill - how it works?

[DoubleStandard]

1. I got and use a two-hands combat skills.
But I just saw when I use a one-hand fast short sword I do a more damage (50 vs 60) than when I use 2 short swords.
2. Is it important in which hand weapon placed? I had a fast sword in right hand and very fast sword in left hand. Fast sword make a more damage (18-24 + poison point and persent chanses) than very fast sword (14-22 direct damage + bonus damage). I think it works in that way - I make some kicks with sword in right hand then acidentaly kick by sword in left hans - that do more damage per time than if I replased weapons inmy hands.
Am I right?

The chance to use any weapon is 50%. The attack speed is the arithmetic mddle of the attack speed with just weapon no. 1 and with just weapon no. 2. Which weapon in wich hand doesn´t make any difference.

Thanks
And what about the first question?

The first one is not a question.

TQ's DPS display doesn't account for any WPS skills (like basic "dual wield" skill that gives you a chance to attack with both weapon at once). So take its readings with a grain of salt. Even with just 1 point in dual wield your real DPS when dual wielding will be higher.

As for the second one -
For all attacks that weren't switched to a WPS attack (Dual Wield, Hew, Cross Cut, etc) the chance to use any weapon is 50%. The attack speed for each weapon applies separately - if you have a slow weapon in one hand and a fast weapon in the other one, slow weapon will have slow attacks, and the fast one will have fast attacks. WPS attacks use average weapon speed of both.

If you have Sapros the Corrupter or other weapon that reduces resistance, then it matters. All dual wield passives and active always use your right hand weapon first (which is your left weapon slot). You always want to reduce resistance first to maximize your damage. Same thing applies if you have shield passives and actives, you always attack with your weapon first then shield.
And, first question is because when you dual wield, your attack speed will be slightly reduced.
