Parsing will probably be required, but I suspect Swiftwind offhand will outdamage Tolan's offhand in almost all cases where the mainhand is decent. Maybe the AC is handled differently (buff ac or something, the live calcs were done that way) and it's ridiculously good for tanking?
I think the important thing is the Swiftwind augmenting the damage of the primary hand (or even bow). Ac from worn buffs come under spell AC. Most of the way through velious worn AC was fairly trivial to cap. As such, if you were close to / at / over that cap worn AC would appear to have little difference, making spells / worn spells seem much bigger in effect.

Woodsman is still better than lammies all way up to 60 2.265 vs 2.09. I also changed to lammies for awhile but went back to the good old stick :-)

I envy you for swiftwind, I play so casual these days only way for me is prob to mq the stone. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
VSR is up practically all the time and the triggered VS drops two stones. The stone isn't hard to come across (and if you do decide to MQ make sure to negotiate down the price based on that).

"Seemed", "felt"... Get yourself a copy of gamparse and you can make decisions based on facts rather than feelings haha.
In fairness, the Woodsman hits for a wider range of damage and does less hits in a given time span, which does make it mathematically more random. It's not like the weapon set ups are orders of magnitude different. The big delay has an advantage if you find yourself cast spells or tanking.
