Alright after reading your post a little more carefully, I understand why you felt compelled to clear up this age old debate that you started about offhand selection. No one is dogmatically saying that between mainhand and offhand, the best ratio goes in offhand. You're just misunderstanding. You're not wrong on anything, besides your reason for the post.
You're taking "put the best ratio weapon in your offhand" bit out of context. It's still valid, however, that only applies to choosing between offhands. The offhand with a higher ratio is superior because damage bonus does not apply to the offhand.
This is completely independent from selecting your mainhand. Mainhand factors include, as you noted, damage cap, damage bonus, and ratio. Procs and backstab dmg are also considerations. Whatever weapon fits those criteria best goes in mainhand. Whatever junk you have that fits in secondary goes there, until you find a better offhand and in that case the higher ratio wins.

FYI... you guys are saying the same information just wording it differently. Agreements are the worst arguments... so stop it!
Once you get over pizzing with each other over grammar and sentence structure... I'd like to point out that there are still a lot of players who don't understand the basics that were posted correctly. So the post is/was helpful. AT the very least now I can point someone towards it to help clear up their lack of information on how the basics work.
Spent the last week watching a guild mate constantly make it his mission to give wrong off hand weapon advise because he was confusing double attack mechanics with duel wield. A quote of his advice... "Off hand delay does NOT matter at all, it's not used! Just get the highest damage weapon you can in the off hand!"... /sigh
Thanks OP... fyi, made sense to me.
