Backstab and mainhand damage both comprise about 40% of your melee dps with your offhand coming in at around 20%. That's why 3 weapon damage is borderline negligible when it comes to back stabs, since the ratio makes up for it via mainhand damage.
Also, weapon delay gets goofed a bit when you swap to a high damage mainhand for a backstab, and doesn't reset until after the next swing. If you swap to an efreeti war spear (15/40? I am at work) for a backstab, then swap back to a TS, your next mainhand swing occurs at 40 delay, not 18, losing you out on dps.
