Are you talking about AB? Unless strength gives parry WB is better no matter how you look at it.

1. They do the same with jousting or with theorically but when you joust you pull away from the enemy (obviously) and regain energy which lets you do more SS's and therefore have a higher chance to proc for longer. And if you're wondering then yes if you're standing right next to them when you're waiting for your swing timer then yeah you're regaining energy but you're also taking thier dmg and you won't last as long and therefore not put out as much dmg.
2. Your mainhand can't swing until your offhand has swung.

When I first made my rogue I thought the same thing but when you're actually fighting (jousting) slower weapons proc a lot more even when it's in the offhand. (not sure why though) you'll have to make a rogue and try it to believe me.WSG said:

They are on seperate timers afaik. Where did you get this information?
If you joust WB is better because it's slower. I don't understand what you're trying to say here.

[ITEM]Cruel Barb[/ITEM] vs [ITEM]Wingblade[/ITEM]
12 AP vs 5 Agility 2 Stamina
2.8 vs 2.2
15.5 vs 15.7
For Jousting Cruel Barb is perfect. You're sacrificing 1 stat and 0.2 DPS for Jousting. Now that I look at it, CB is perfect for Jousting because it matches with [ITEM]Shadowfang[/ITEM] within 0.1 speed. However, I can't see Jousting being very effective here. What prevents your opponent from running after you while you're jousting? He can do the same and you'll never catch him. If it's another rogue you're evenly matched. If it's any other class then there's nothing stopping them from Slowing CC'ing you, maybe Priests because their Scream has a long CD but how effective is jousting at 19? I've never actually tried it myself at 19.

Better take a bunch of Screenshots because it's going to go down in 3 months unless you login again and lose the stats.

That was pretty unnecessary and unrelated. He's telling us he's going to improve his gear and you tell him to gtfo?

I have a rogue.
The reason you are seeing more procs is because you are jousting and not using every possible swing of your offhand.
Wingblade OH (2.2 second swing) with Fiery (6 ppm) = 22% chance to proc.
Cruel Barb OH (2.8 second swing) with Fiery (6 ppm) = 28% chance to proc.
When jousting, you are not actually swinging the Wingblade every 2.2 seconds. In fact, you are probably getting just as many offhand swings as when you use CB since you won't go in for another "joust" until your Mainhand is ready to swing again. Thus, you end up with the same amount of swings, but a higher chance to proc.
However, my comments were made to dispute your arguement that Thief's Blade will give more DPS than Wingblade when your proximity to the nutsack is high because it is faster. Now you are arguing slow is better. Thanks.
Again, someone replied that they would take CB over WB, yet their armory shows them using TB. This is contradictory.
I can accept that some people think CB is better than WB. As I said earlier, it depends a lot on build and playstyle and there isn't really a wrong answer between those two.
Thief's Blade is wrong. Always.
