I'm testing with dual daggers.
One thing still really confuses me. In the logs where my pet had the 2h Rusty Greatsword, he was "hitting". Not "kicking", not "bashing". He was "slashing" with the sword, but also hitting. In the logs you linked to (which I forgot I posted here):
[Sat Mar 21 13:03:18 2015] Gekab kicks Guard Fentallin for 26 points of damage.
It clearly says "kicks". So... When the pet was using the 2h, how was it "hitting"? Is it possible that it still procs off-hand melee strikes even with a 2 hander?
Anyway, onto testing low weapon delay.

Now that we see the logs, the question is, how do we quantify the speed? Originally, I did it by adding up total attacks attempted, divided by the time. But there was such a wide range of values due to proc chance on double strikes, and dual wield strikes, that it was unusable. Dual daggers showed that it slowed a pet's attack speed, which we know is not the case from my previous post on the subject.
So instead, lets cut out Double Strike procs. Instead of going for attacks per second, lets look at average seconds between unique actions. So, I removed all the kicks and bashes from these logs, and then will go from second to second quantifying the difference between actions. Averaging them together should give us the average weapon delay, unhindered by double strikes, since two attacks in the same second are seen as "one action".

Total: 52 total delay between 22 actions.
Average: 2.3636 delay between unique actions.
So the difference? 2.375 unarmed vs 2.3636 with dual daggers.
A difference of 0.0114. Somehow I feel this difference is so minor that it is insignificant, and completely meaningless. It likely came about because of the fact that the daggers test had 22 actions versus the unarmed having 16, so it was more accurate.
In conclusion, it appears to me that low delay weapons do NOT speed up pet attacks, just as high delay weapons do NOT slow down pet attacks.
