As I understand it, double attacks only triggers off of a successful hits. In addition to this, the second hit itself can miss dodge and be parried. This effectively makes the second attack TWICE as likely to miss the target. One half of these are parsed as misses the others simply don't occur. One way to test this would be to run same delay weapons against each other (IE 2.0 vs 2- 1.6s) against a mob with which you have a decent chance to miss.Data might be forthcoming.
one of the reasons why i like wardens dirges and guardians

<p>Several reasons why not to run a WIS (double attack 1H) spec until you're good and ready to make use of its full potential.</p><p>Without some extra +Piercing or +Slashing the miss chance totally negates the benefits.</p><p>Without a proper high-end weapon you can't possibly realize a high damage autoattack.</p><p>If you're a button masher who likes 1.6second delay weapons, stick with STR/AGI</p>

Did some testing last night and this is not an issue. Sorry for the false alarm.
