Question Dual-Wield Off-Hand Damage NOT Adding Up

So I recently reset my character in order to do some damage tests for an addOn I'm writing, but something has been eluding me. I was under the impression that DW Off-hands were meant to provide 20% of the off-hand weapon damage value, however my calculations are showing around 17.4%




Just to be clear, I am running two identical Legendary quality daggers here and the only things which are not base stats is my Max Stamina and Weapon/Spell Penetrations. These are currently being increased by The Thief (Mundus) and Weapon Traits (Sharpened). However, as far as I am aware, these two things should not affect my base weapon damage prior to an actual attack. I initially ran into this problem while working backwards from a target dummy damage calculation and upon checking the values forward simply by checking the difference between nothing equipped, main hand equipped and then with off-hand equipped, there was indeed less Weapon Damage than expected.

Another thing to note is that the damage increase projection (green arrow and values) are definately off. They will show one value, and then another upon equipping. This is a separate thing of course, the main problem is that in a control test, I am getting 2571 Weapon Damage when I expect to get 2602. I know a 31 damage difference (~3%) is negligible and all, but it's making me question the accuracy of my calculations going forward in later stages of my script and will no doubt have knock on effects on overall DPS in practice.

Am I missing something here? Everything is base except penetration and stamina, but these should not affect these pre-attack values. And besides, I can't imagine why it would be going backwards in value rather than forwards if anything...
