That is a common myth. Mainhand and offhand are on separate, independent timers.

But since there is no damage bonus for the offhand (like there is for mainhand), it does make sense to focus on ratio only for the offhand weapon, if DPS is the only goal.

The assertion is that the offhand, being on an independent timer, does not fire when the mainhand attacks or when weapons are swapped, but only when the offhand actually attacks. Because you're swapping back to the mainhand after attacking once with the offhand, the timer will recharge during the swapping process, and you only get one attack per mainhand round out of the offhand. If you have a faster weapon, you just recharge the offhand timer earlier while no offhand is equipped and the lower delay is wasted.
