Weapon swapping is based on swinging your offhand. Dual wield percentage in other words. Dual Wield skill + level / 400 is the formula.

You won't swing your offhand every time you weapon swap.

I used to watch the text when I was learning the timing. You may find it easier to actually watch for the animation.

I have never weapon swapped with an IFS but with a t-staff I take the staff out for maybe half a second before replacing it. I have 81% haste without VoG. Your timing window might be longer. The offhand should go off immediately with an epic fist, I would imagine it is the same even with no epic fist.

Dual wield works independently of the main hand. This is why a very low delay offhand can generate a lot of attacks.
