If vexing strike for example for DC count for both yellow hits DW would be a good option to build faster DC and somewhat more static dmg while giving up high peak dmg of twohanders.

Mordikay,
your opinion on dual wielding reflects the fact that you have not read a post by some developer a Xaices from a while ago, which stated that for Dual Wielding, your damage is calculated as 66.6% your primary hand and 33.3% your secondary hand. Which means that they are highly likely to do the same thing with DC effects, and on DPS =this means that on average, you do not gain or lose anything from dual wielding or 2handing or S&B in terms of straight damage over a very long term, unless you have abilities geared towards dual wielding, which DRK does not have. In the short term of course dual wielding might have a higher chance to cause a crit from either or both weapons, however those crits are scaled down because initial weapon damage is.
I am not completely sure in my righteousness here as I have never tested this, but I am pretty sure there was a post on this somewhere in the pile. Correct me if I am wrong here please.
Thanks
