across the 83 second fight i saw 1085 primary attempts compared to 585 secondary attempts; keep in mind total attempts includes dual wield chance, double attack chance, and triple attack chance.
83 seconds? That's waaaaaaay too small a sample size to be conclusive.

If you're going to try to get this far into the formulae etc, you're going to need far more than 83 seconds of data. Perhaps one of the resident statisticians can estimate an amount of parsing time necessary to get actually useful results, but I'd bet you need to parse for hours.

Secondly, all this stuff is governed by formulae hidden in the server and client. That doesn't mean we're going to get the same results every time. Even if you run the same experiment over and over, you'll get different numbers every time.
