I've got to admit, I never thought about running dual missions. 
But I have to disagree on the dual ship not making that much of a difference. I've noticed a significant drop in completion times, even with very good skills. Interesting experiment to try for me though
First off if you really know the misisons off by heart and never need to look at the mission guide it is very doable.
The way I do it is my Nightmare is always the primary missioner and get the more attention meaning the Raven can be sat idle at times, so in that regard I have overtanked it
Whilst I do see you're point of view and with the right pairing will work, for me its a case of a well skilled Nightmare agaisnt a Raven which can only be called adequate at best skilling wise.
If I had 2 turret ships skilled up I may well run in tandem on the bigger missions.

Have you actually done the isk/hr comparisons? My initial thought is that while the main is completing the missions at a 'normal' pace, it will still be faster than the alt. He'll be taking a longer amount of time, so I wonder if you're really completing more missions in the same amount of time.
I must admit I have not done an isk per hour but what I have done is a time saving comparison, ie I would kill Recon pt 1 solo, in that time my Raven pilot could of killed duo of death, sansha spies etc and would also be looking for another mission.
Recon being an example of a mission where the second bs wouldn't speed it up at all until the very final wave as is timed spawns and you are pretty much waiting for them, same with EA part 5 if can kill fast enough.
Course Worlds Collide is 2 missions in one in effect, 'mare goes sansha side, Raven angel with the mare taking last room without swapping hardeners.

Do you find yourself getting log jammed, with the main having completed a mission and drawn a crap mission the alt should be doing, but the alt is still working on the 1st crap mission? Do you go ahead and do the crap mission on your main just to get a new mission, or do you wait for the alt to finish?
I very rarely find myself completely log jammed with crap but at that point I ditch missioning for the night and do something else, but as a rule when on a mission sesion I will be keeping going hitting misisons, after a while you will get a feel for wether it is worth swapping missions over or leave the secondary do the one it about to start and do the easier one on the main, to get it out the way to get another.
Having several chances to get missions help a lot, myself I have 3 accounts and while one can't fly anything apart from a dessie or hulk he can still get lvl 4's so I get 6 missions lined up with 2 agents 2 jumps apart.
