1) When dual wielding, does it only deal damage based on your main hand weapon, or both weapons?
2) Does it ignore armor? I don't mean the ticks themselves (bleeds ignore armor), but is the total amount based on weapon damage on your character sheet, or weapon damage mitigated by the mob's armor rating (and your armor penetration)?
1) Don't quote me on this, but main hand only.
2) It's character sheet weapon damage. Note that it's not just this base value, but any procs that would increase weapon damage (AP Procs, Enrages, etc) increase deep wound damage during that time. Armor Pen has no effect on deep wounds.

From what i seen in some patch notes long ago, DW is no longer a subject of % damage talents. So no enrage or 2hander spec affects it.
I think it was somwhere between buffing arms and nerfing fury.
I'm just speaking from a prot perspective. Defensive Stance -5%, Improved Defensive Stance +10%, and OHW Spec +10% all affect deep wounds damage.
Just tested. Defensive Stance vs Battle Stance there was a difference. Then went Fury spec and tested with popping Deathwish, which added the 120% to character sheet and increased my DW ticks on the dummy by about 20 each.
So yes, all of the damage modifying things still affect DW damage.

But... is that because it adds a % of damage to the ticks or because it adds a % of damage to your weapon damage (which means higher damage ticks)?
I don't understand the question. Deep Wounds does 48% of your weapon damage. So if your weapon damage increases, your deep wounds increases.

I know but at one point, I think it was double dipping into the buffs. You know, 10% from one-handed weapon specialization to your weapon damage and then another 10% to the deep wounds ticks (despite being there from the former).
yes, very early on. but it was changed as it was doing waaaay too much damage for dps warriors.

"Early on"? That was in
patch 3.1.0
:
Deep Wounds: The damage done by this talent no longer receives modifications from effects that increase or decrease damage done by a percentage. The base weapon damage used in the calculation will still be modified by those effects.
