Dual Wield / Off-Hand Enchants Do Not Proc

Not sure if the game has always handled enchantments on duel wield weapons this way; however, had a chance to test this today.
The following abilities ignore the enchantment on the off-hand weapon:
Steel tornado
rapid strikes
hidden blade
blade cloak
However, twin slashes/rending slashes procs both weapon enchantments, including off hand.Also heavy attack procs both enchantments. Light attack seemed to proc off hand about 30% of the time.
Is this a bug, or working as intended?

EnOeZ✭✭✭✭Was looking for that information too
Btw, does the off hand hit at 50% damage before passives and if so, do you know if the off hand weapon enchant is also affected by that -50% damage ? We NEED clarity and transparency on game mechanics ZOS, thanks !
Answer much appreciated !

in december 2014, that was the way it seemed to work :lolo_01b16_ESO wrote: »Ok, I tested it again today and it seems as if they changed the mechaniks in one of the latest updates.
All enchantments have independent timers. But every action can just activate one enchantment:
Light attack: The enchantment that is on the weapon that visually hits the target is used.
Heavy attack: The weapon that hits first is used.
Blood craze (and probably other morphs): Off-hand weapon enchantment.
Rapid Strikes, Steeltornado, Flying Blade: Main-hand weapon enchantment.
If you use the comon rotation "blood craze, heavy attack, rapid strikes, heavy, rapid, ... blood craze will be the only attack that uses your off hand enchantment and therefor you have to recharge it not that often.0 -

The off-hand increases your total weapon power by 20% (26% with passives) of your off-hand weapon value but your attacks with boths hands retain the cumulated value from both weapons and gear.
