Does delay/attack speed affect aggro retention?

So threat from 2 handers is less than from 1 handers?

What would be better for holding aggro, the Warrior Epic 1hs dual wield combo or the Warrior Epic 2hs? The latter has higher dps, both have aggro procs. Just as an example. If that's a good example.

Also, if attack speed/delay doesn't affect aggro why was the moss covered twig nerfed and made offhand only? The reason I heard given (some time after the fact) was because a 3/17 mainhand kept aggro too easily.

Warriors typically use two one hand weapons WITH agro procs. Two procs means more agro procs than the 2h version of epic. This is a great wombo combo for agro:

You got a 500 agro proc from epic, and a slow proc from Trident. Trident proc is also a cold spell, rather than a magic spell. This means the slow can land on mobs that are magic immune.
