Primary	Secondary	Dual Wield
----------------------------------
2H	Empty		No

1H	1H		Yes
1H	Object		No
1H	Empty		Yes

Object	1H		Yes
Object	Object		No
Object	Empty		Yes

Empty	1H		Yes
Empty	Object		No
Empty	Empty		No (unless you are a monk or beastlord)

If this is incorrect in any way, please let me know and I'll (or someone) will correct it.

If you have an opinion on this, please post and a discussion should ensue.

Used a ranger with 269 dual wield skill.

			empty/empty	empty/object
1 attempt per sec	5		7
2 attempts per sec	2		36
3 attempts per sec	5		12
4 attempts per sec	38		9
5 attempts per sec	5		3
6 attempts per sec	16		1
time			161		252
attempts		279		172
attempts per time	1.73		0.68

- Didn't exclude riposte data
- Drop in attack rate for empty/object is more than expected, but I assume it's within margin for error.

In any event data clearly shows rangers dual wield with empty/empty, DW animation also played. I think we have no reason to expect different results for other classes, the only other I can test (without the effort of levelling up) would be rogue if you think this is insufficient.
