There isn't any benefit to having your fastest weapon in your OH. You just want your MH to have the highest base damage in a WW build.
I use it as my main hand so my dagger OH is faster.

The benefit is I can have a lower DPS, "stat stick" dagger.
A lot more damage comes from WW in 1.05 which means a low dps weapon in your off hand isn't as viable as it once was. You really should be running something in the high 600+ dps range and that assumes 200+ str with 150+ crit.
What was your playing start date?
PS, please update your post after completing Inferno without hitting the AH...
Found an Azurewrath and a unique monk claw thing... both mediocre.
So, everything seems to be getting more expensive on the AH. Tome of secrets are now 500 gold each -- they were like 50 a few weeks back. Gold is moving up slightly too. Did they get rid of dupers, or are people just leaving the game...
Are there any real money sinks in this game or is it just repairs?
Looks like creating gems gets expensive but personally I see myself only making a few and never needing to make more. I guess you can blow loads of gold on crafting items too at a chance to get what you want, but seems pointless if you can use that same money to get exactly what you want on the AH.

You can get some amazing weapons by crafting. Costs are obviously associated with it.
Plans are super cheap. So might be good to purchase and have them.
Better than what can drop?

So whats the best way to get large DPS increases? Crit dmg/chance?
I'm at 70k with my Wizard now but I'm reading of people with up to 170k. The best item improvements so far have only been giving me like 5k more dmg, making 170k seem out of reach. I've noticed items with far less INT but high crit dmg % gives me more dps than high INT and no crit dmg %

I look and see lots of people's gear that have high dps, but they have barely anything for survival. Why? How the hell do you survive and isn't it annoying to constantly die.
A buddy of mine found a witching hour recently. He let me borrow it. So, I modified my wiz gear and skillz for max dps, went up to something like 160k. I was like wow, awesome. Ran into my first reflects pack and died. Anyhow with this dps build, I was down to 23k hp, 4-500 AR, no loh, no ls. Not worth it. I would rather run with 80k dps, 35k+ hp, 2k loh and/or 3 ls with my sunkeeper that brings me down to 65k dps, 600 or so AR.
It's all linked. Generally whatever you have the "least" of will provide the greatest increase because of the multiplicative way DPS is calculated. If you're loaded on int, then cc/cd will be a better value (to a point, then it reverses again). ASPD is the same way, it's basically (A * B * C * D) and whichever of those is 'lowest' will provide the greatest increase. Though they don't have 1:1 relationships so determining the conversion is probably easiest through a DPS calculator of some sort.
I think most people shoot for 40%+ crit, 400%+ crit damage, as much primary stat as possible, and 15-30% aspd.
