From my testing, it takes too much focus away from the game to do this kind of swapping.

It doesn't in many cases, as your own testing video shows. Playing melee in this game largely involves standing in one place and not having to do anything else while you stare at the screen. Which is exactly what you were doing. When you are standing around and doing nothing else, there ample room to be inputting other actions when possible. Weapon swapping fills that void, and like I've constantly said, is especially viable with lower haste amounts.
It's not a FUN mechanic, but melee combat in EQ is not fun anyway. Especially on a new server or untwinked character, I'd much rather put the effort in and increase my DPS, than just stand there waiting 4+ seconds between weapon swings and knowing that I'm leveling slower and contributing less to the group as a result. And especially for Warriors, this is crucial for building up more aggro.
