Lots of misinformation so far in this thread; Melee forum is probably the best place to get these questions answered.
Your offhand swings are completely independent of main hand swings. The offhand also has no damage bonus applied to each hit. Because of that, the only thing that matters for your offhand weapon is ratio. Monks use SoS because the ratio is so good. If delay didn't matter, every Rogue would have a Green Jade Axe.
The twig in its current form is useful only for mob push, really.
Since your main hand does have a damage bonus applied to each hit, you generally want your faster weapon in that hand so the damage bonus is applied more often. Exceptions are at low levels when damage bonus is negligible and when your slow weapon has a significantly better ratio than your faster one; in those cases, ratio trumps delay.

Since it's just ratio in the off hand that you need to worry about, rogues should ditch the axe and get CSS. Same ratio, but you get more push and you don't lose hp. Axe is really only good for Trak and with the resist caps, unnecessary.
