If I feint before using double slice and only get a normal success then how does this play out? Do my attacks count as one for taking advantage of the fate similarly to how they count as one for utilizing my multiple attack penalty and applying resistances and weaknesses or is the enemy only flat footed against one attack? If the latter than do I choose which weapon or is at always the main hand one?

Great Question (and now I really wish we could use our own images for avatars)
Under Double Slice it reads
"For purposes of resistances and weaknesses, this is considered to be
a single Strike."
Which to me sounds like it should apply to both strikes. Double slice is effectively being treated as if the strikes land simultaneously.
If it becomes unbalancing, I could see it getting house ruled in a different way. I don't think that it is unbalancing though. Feint is by no means automatic and you are giving up your 3rd action, which could be used for something like twin parry.
Double slice has wording reffering to the strikes being sequentioal not simultaneous. Specifically, "The second Strike takes a –2 circumstance penalty if it’s made with a weapon that doesn’t have the agile trait" so I'd say Feint only applies to the first attack and it's your choice Evey time you use double strike which strike is first.
