One thing I need to address:

For the vast majority of mobs, I doubt you will see this effect in any significant way, as my data is comparing a level 5 and a level 50. AoW is one exception to the rule for sure, which everybody has always agreed.

Remember way back to page 7? At the time you were focused on probabilities of having a lucky vs an unlucky run. More hits = more chances to even out the luck so for the important things that you don't get to do every day you don't want to get unlucky?
Remember?

It is true. If you fight 2 mobs, you'll probably get 1 below average fight, and 1 above average fight with 2h. This averages out to the middle. This is why you always pick whichever weapons have the better average when killing a lot of mobs.
When you are fighting 1 mob that spawns every 7 days, you don't want to get the below average fight. Unless your guild wipes and is able to try again, you won't get a second fight to average it out.

Why have you flip flopped? Back then it was concern about being unlucky on those not every-day mobs. You didn't seem to care about which setup was actually better ... only the concern for getting unlucky. Well ... it really feels like THOSE MOBS are now the precisely THE MOBS you are trying to write off by ignoring the fact that it is on those mobs where the superior dmg bonus of 2handers will be most effective. For the record, IFS and epic fist mainhand hit equal dmg bonus potential at level 55. By level 56 the IFS takes the lead ... and that lead only gets bigger each level beyond that to 60.

Oh well. Maybe one day you'll hit level 60, have mainhand triple attack, be at the level where 2h dmg bonus has fully matured, and realize that at level 60 the dual wield combination you currently own has no advantage under any circumstances or against any mob compared to the cheap EC tunnel IFS.
Or maybe you'll stay 52 and still not have known that there is a message when FD fails except for the fact that a bunch of people had to tell you otherwise (after leveling a monk to 50+ and a SK to 60)
