Let's break these assumptions up a bit and tackle them one by one. Regardless of class, these should all be true on blue:
Low level summoned pets will not dual wield, even when given 2 weapons.
Higher level summoned pets will dual wield, without the need for 2 weapons.
Giving a summoned pet a low delay weapon will not increase the speed of it's attacks.
Giving a summoned pet an extraordinarily high damage will increase it's damage, but this becomes harder to do as you level up and your pet's natural damage goes up.
Giving a summoned pet 2 weapons is a waste of time unless they are very high damage or have a proc, as it will not affect their ability to dual wield.
Charmed pets, regardless of level, will not dual wield unless given 2 weapons.
All of those are, as far as I know, true. The patch shouldn't have changed anything regarding these assumptions. The only thing the patch should have changed was the shortcut of giving your pet a torch instead of 2 weapons, thus reducing the amount of weapons you'd need to carry around to get your charmed pet to dual wield.

#1 was tested and found to be accurate. The logs for that are above.
I wanted to test #3 (low delay weapon), so I summoned a level 49 Invoke Death, and attacked a fear kited guard in EFP. Logs are at the end of this post, but generally show attacks every 2-3 seconds. I then gave the same pet on the same target a Rusty Two Handed Sword, with Delay 50. Again, the logs will be after this, but attacks occurred still every 2-3 seconds. So I believe #3 holds up as true,
the delay of a weapon given to a pet has no impact on pet attack speed.
So I can say that both #1 and #3 on this list are accurate, and not just assumptions.
One part that confuses me on these logs is in the 2-handed section, where it says:

[Fri Jun 12 17:10:13 2015] Gobartik hits Guard Hirazen for 47 points of damage.
What is the attack that "hits" the target? Bashes are "bashed", which I removed. Maybe there are kicks mixed in here, and instead of saying "kicks...", it says "hits..."

Total Damage: 918
Number of Attacks: 40
Average: 22.95 per attack. Not significantly different enough, this easily just falls into the realm of error, so it doesn't seem that low weapon damage lowers pet damage either.
