Quick backofthenapkinmath using furious axes shows white damage being 56 points less dw than with the 2h. FS is 55% dmg plus 137.5, making the 2h fs = 718.85 before ap comes into play. dw fs is mh 487.3 + oh 338.635 = 825.935.
So under ideal circumstances, with lightning striking twice, giving both setups the hit cap and equal stats otherwise, dw is superior because it gets double the strike bonus. In the real world that extra 427 hit rating to gem for is gonna demolish the other stats for the dual wielder. Thats an entire 22 epic 3.2 gems IN ADDITION to the 263 hit rating you need anyway. After all that, you still need 173 exp after tundra stalker to hit the 6.5% cap. Last time I checked, nobodys got nearly that many gem slots available. Yes I know gear will have some hit/exp on it, still a hell of a lot left to gem for.
The simple fact is its easy to reach the hit/exp cap with a 2h. Its just about impossible to do so dual wielding.

First off, FS is getting a nerf guys. So your 9k 2h crits are gone, and the way ToT works, your FS comes out to the same amount if you DW, with a slightly lower number on crits for DW.

Arena is the top weapons all the way across the board. There is no question about that. However for good starting 1H weapons the Argent tournament and there are some axes that any BH can make.
Unfortunately the best 1h weapons are usually fist leaving dk's in the cold, but we can more than make do with the following to start raiding with.
Argent Tourney Weapon
Blacksmith Weapon
I am working on getting them both. The BS weapon is probably your best pre-raid weapon to help reach your expertise goal.

DW frost strikes with ToT will be stronger with independant crit rates, procs for each hand strike, and benefit from the sigil by 115% in the OH.
More white hits. And with Nerves of Steel, you actually need LESS hit as a DW spec not going into UH tree since the special cap is still 8%.
It's being proven as we speak.
They're making DW frost far superior than 2H frost.
Sitting with 6300AP standing still with raid buffs, mine can get to 13k while in unholy presence.
With each hand doing an average of 6k with independant crit rates, the numbers climb higher than 2H will ever.
