WF/WF with 2 slow weapons is widely accepted as the best dps combo for enhancement,as WF scales with AP and FB scales with spell damage, but FB could work also if you had a fast offhand i guess, am i right in thinking that FB always hits for the same amount of damage no matter the speed of the weapon?
EDIT:using the wrong words^^

Flametongue Weapon does more damage per strike on slower weapons, less damage per strike on Faster weapons. However, the fire damage on hit scales by 10% of your spell damage, so the end result when well-geared is that faster weapons will benefit more from Flametongue. Elemental shaman like this one.
Windfury scales with AP but has a 3-second phantom cooldown, so dual-wielding fast weapons with Windfury causes an actual potential loss of damage that could be done with a different weapon buff on the off-hand. Furthermore, because Windfury is based on your DPS, it's affected negatively in the offhand slot for the 50% DPS loss. Frostbrand will add the same damage (that scales by 10% of your spell damage) to that left hand. Slow weapons are definitely good for Windfury. Enhancement shaman may often want to MH Windfury and OH Frostbrand.
Frostbrand, unfortunately, isn't a percentage chance to be applied, but a normalized proc rate, at 9 PPM (procs per minute). Regardless of a fast or slow weapon, you will get roughly 8-10 procs every minute, meaning that you're adding around 1720-2150 extra damage per minute with Frostbrand per hand at level 70, scaling up with spell damage.
Personally, I like Frostbrand in BGs because of the snare part of the proc. Snares enemies by 25% for 8 seconds.
