This is assuming we're talking about rogues. You didn't specify class.

Divide damage by delay. The higher ratio wins for offhand. There's nothing else to consider when picking out a rogue offhand, unless the weapon ratios are very similar. In that case you just pick the delay you prefer.

17/34 = .5
13/24 = .541

That might not seem like a big difference, but the best Kunark rogue offhand has a .615 ratio. The blade is significantly better.

i like highest hits for duelist disc personally seeing mobs die so fast it's not a speed fight atm

Delay doesn't mean shit in the offhand.

Green Jade Axe BiS forever.

So Green Jade Axe > Edge of the Nightwalker?

[Cecily]

If you like doing sub par damage, yes. Main hand delay is independent of off hand delay. Delay does matter. Unless you're on red. Then damage > all for jousting.

Dual Weild has to a check on main hand swings.

From wiki:

Dual wield affects the chance for an equipped offhand weapon to swing. Whenever the delay requirement for the offhand weapon is met, a check is made versus your dual wield skill to see if the offhand weapon will successfully swing.
