All of the "Main Hand" weapons are actually One Hand (Gladiator/Merc/Venge Shanker.) I believe what he is asking is whether it's ever beneficial to have 2 shankers vs. a shanker and a shiv. The higher top end and slower speed.
I've always liked my fast offhands for more poison procs and more spell knockback, but I guess the only way it could help is to up Mutilate damage a bit (that is the damage from Mutilate it self, probably negated by the loss of the extra poisons when using instant/deadly.)
Now that I think I've clarified the question, I'll let the experts theorycraft for him.
I suppose you
could put a "main hand" (it's not a requirement, but it's made to be MHed) dagger/sword/mace in the offhand, but why the hell would you?
