What is the value from the calculation in-game?

What is the value from the calculation in Path of Building?

lvl 20 dual strike has 442% effectiveness, lvl 20 puncture of shanking has 438% effectiveness. dual strike's HIT dps and average damage are two times higher than puncture's. This means that dual strike effeciveness and attack damage are per weapon. So far so good. But if we compare lvl 19 dual strike bleed dps to lvl 20 double strike bleed dps they are almost the same, which can't be true, unless Mark is wrong in this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/za12om/comment/iykdc4b/?context=2. So, what about cleave? It has this line "When Dual Wielding, Deals 60% Damage from each Weapon combined". This line is equivalent to 40% less damage with bleeding while dual wielding, but it shouldn't be (unless Mark is wrong). Notably, Vaal flicker strike bleed dps calculation seems correct.

Research direction

Start by loading the linked PoB build and comparing the bleed calculations for Dual Strike, Double Strike, Cleave, and Vaal Flicker Strike. Trace how dual-wield weapon damage is combined for these skills; done means the affected bleed DPS and average damage calculations consistently reflect both weapons.
