I am extremely interested in switching from 2h dps to dw dps. Unfortunately, I have little to no experience with rogues or preWotLK fury warriors. Therefore, I have no functioning comprehension of MH/OH weapons. I seem to remember that tanks and certain types of rogues prefer faster weapons, where other 1h dps prefer slower weapons for the top end dmg. Please correct me if I am wrong. I am looking at DW
this
in my MH and
this
in my OH. Should I keep it the way I have it or switch it around? Also, should I be looking out for faster weapons to replace MH or higher top end to replace OH?
Thanks to any advice.

It just means it's procs per minute. The % is higher on slower weapons because they swing fewer times.
A fast weapon will swing 35 times per minute and proc KM 5 times, a slower weapon will swing 24 times and proc KM 5 times... higher percentage of swings to procs... but same number of procs.
The reason to use a slow weapon is that since KM is ppm instead of proc on Crit, you may as well get your strike damage higher.
Also, I have still not seen if BCB was fixed. It used to allow OH BCB procs to swing from the main hand weapon's damage.
