Whirlwind and dual-wield

[Decksign]

Test the interaction of Whirlwind offhand hits:

• [x] If the main-hand roll results in a parry, dodge or miss, can offhand damage still occur?
• [x] Do offhand hits proc chance on hit weapons?
• [x] Verify that offhand hits proc Flurry and Rampage (source)
• [x] Verify that offhand hits are affected by Dual Wield Specialization
• [ ] Do offhand hits proc Sword Specialization? (currently bugged on beta; see #50)

I did some tests today (build 2.5.1.38169) and the results are below. I attached screenshots here because it's easier to see what's going on, but all the data has been verified with the recorded combat log where the offhand hits have a different spell ID (44949) so they're easier to distinguish. After Blizzard fixes CombatLogGetCurrentEventInfo() to return the spell ID I will write an addon that makes them appear in your in-game combat log as Whirlwind (Offhand) so they're easier to distinguish there as well.

Do offhand hits proc chance on hit weapons?

Yes, multiple times too. Main hand was Communal Sword (generic green sword), offhand was Hammer of the Northern Wind:

Verify that offhand hits proc Flurry and Rampage

They do, and for Rampage it includes both the activation and the stacks as can be seen here:

Verify that offhand hits are affected by Dual Wield Specialization
