Read my edit. I'm also on the 360.
They set this up in a confusing way. The melee weapon on the left side of the screen should always be your main hand, and the right side should be for the shield and off-hand. Why the hell did they make it so when you DW your main and off-hand switch? If your using sword and shield and change your shield for a weapon, your likely stronger weapon in your left/main hand will become weaker and the weapon you swapped the shield for will become the main weapon. I guess if the DW skill is above 10 it's better, but for the majority of the game it'll probably be below that.
There's no such thing as a pure magic weapon. The best is like a 10/90 split.
I wish a Dev would explain what the damage calc. is for DW and why this seems confusing.
