Hmm I found an interesting tidbit while searching for an answer to your question. In the patch notes for the 11th of Jan I found this:
"The best dual wield combinations remain nearly 20% higher damage when compared with 2-handed damage of equal caliber."
It seems that dual wield will, on the whole, provide more damage. What the penalty for that extra damage is, I'm not sure. Hopefully there is some kind of defensive penalty for dual wielding, otherwise what's the point in going 2h?
Is anyone able to expand upon this for me?
