Yes, but if you do the same math for the two weapons Cecily specifically mentioned you get:

Baton of Flame: ((13 × 2)+11) / 17 = 2.17
Kriezenn's Flame: ((12 × 2)+11) / 17 = 2.06

Which is what her point was I think. Baton striaght up has a better ratio than Tolan's, and while KFlame is slightly worse, it is 4/10 of a second faster, which is pretty significant.

Not sure about the additional ATK, but it could make a difference. I still use epic offhand on my warrior for the ATK and Dex even thought I have a better ratio offhand, but with main hand doing a larger percentage of damage than off hand, I have no idea how much of a ratio/atk difference is necessary to justify using a worse raw damage, but higher +ATK item is.

Parsing will probably be required, but I suspect Swiftwind offhand will outdamage Tolan's offhand in almost all cases where the mainhand is decent. Maybe the AC is handled differently (buff ac or something, the live calcs were done that way) and it's ridiculously good for tanking?
