these things are not mutually exclusive. you can have a good ratio on a slower weapon. especially off hand.
pick something else.
4 real.
exquisite weapons, skyfury scimitar, scimitar of emerald dawn, edge of the nightwalker

Unless the accepted formula is wrong, my point is there's no difference on hate generated from a 10/18 or a 20/36 weapon if it is in offhand. A scimitar of emerald dawn will generate slightly more hate even if nearly 2x slower.
Not sure how backstab hate works but ragebringer is possibly the bigger culprit here. Over a minute SCD OH will generate 333 hate from white damage without factoring haste. SoED OH will generate 354. Exq vel. Bhammer would be 360. A SCD mainhand will generate 700hate while ragebringer 624 so I suspect the 15dmg backstab is what pushes you over the edge in your example more than OH choice. Also the 40% haste is 4-6% more than most players so that doesn't help either.
I ran the numbers in the warrior thread and there's like a 15% difference between a lamentation and a SBoZ in hate generated, that's why a 400hate proc is a big deal for tanks, weapon choice doesn't do much for hate generation when it comes to white damage unless you're vastly outclassing the people you're with.
