No idea about the percentages, but a few of your comments are strange....

During enrage, the tank should discontinue ALL attacks, not "swap from 2 1H to a single 2H". Enrage causes every frontal attack to be RIPOSTED, meaning the tank will not get a hit in and will be receiving damage for every attempt he makes to attack.

Also, procs on Everquest are based on a PPM system, so a slow 2H will proc, on average, as many times as a fast 1H, however he will proc more often relative to the number of swings made for an equivalent time period. In the days of P99 and classic Everquest, it was typical for a warrior to wield two high aggro proccing weapons, due to the increased number of procs from two weapons over procs from 1 weapon for the increased aggro generation. It was not until PoP that ripostes became a large enough issue for some tanks to swap over to 1H+shield or 2H weapons (at least from my memory).
