I'd like to start by apologizing for provoking such a massive derailment. I wouldn't have done so, except this thread was already full derailed and the question posed by the OP had been answered with no disagreement.

Little tangent here which is irrelevant to the discussed scenario, but does answer the question above out of context: no. The off hand (so again not relevant to shaman) can proc when it’s delay timer elapses, even when dual wield fails to produce a swing. It doesn’t work this way on other servers but it does make procing weapons desirable in off hand at low dual wield skill (you end up scoring a high number of procs/swing due to number of swings being so low with offhand).
Again not relevant to the discussion, but relevant to the question, again my apologies. Just thought it was tangentially interesting to mention as an aside.

No need to apologize, I enjoy a good pedantic correction, and this absolutely qualifies. Thanks!

As for why Bcbrown is wrong, using math terms:

Binomial Distribution Vs Normal Distribution
The main difference between the binomial distribution and the normal distribution is that binomial distribution is discrete, whereas the normal distribution is continuous. It means that the binomial distribution has a finite amount of events, whereas the normal distribution has an infinite number of events.

If you flip a coin an infinite amount of times, you will end up with a mean of 0.5 (50% Heads, 50% tails).
if you flip a coin a finite amount of times, your results will vary. You could get HHHT, TTTH, HHHH, TTTT, etc. |
Our boy is furiously googling "normal binomial" and reading whatever summary Google provides, while I'm over here reviewing my copy of Wasserman's
All Of Statistics.
