First, you're assuming that 74% of these attacks came from that weapon by using average percentages which you're basing on what you admit to be assumptions....so it's basically assumptions and averages, and on top of that the sample size is only 249 swings.
See the MAINHAND CALCULATIONS. That would be a Dual Wield percentage of 100% which obviously is not even remotely possible. Beastlords DO NOT GET THE DOUBLE ATTACK SKILL. Each rank of Bestial Fury increases chance to double attack by 4%. 4% * 5 = 20%. The sample size is more than adequate to paint a pretty accurate picture of the delay of the weapon.

On top of that even, you don't know how many of those swings were ripostes. Did the Beastlord have the double riposte AA? If so, his potential number of ripostes increase by 50%.
It amazes me that some people posting here in the bug forums can even tie their shoes in the morning (Velcro maybe?). Ripostes are done with the MAIN HAND? It is not possible to RIPOSTE with an offhand weapon.
