Another 2h dw question

So, title generally says most of what this topic will be asking...


Which is better for pvp? Right now i am using a 2h and i find the burst and high damage is really beneficial. I have not tested out DW though.
much of a much honestly, ive tried both. prob 2h is better.
Dual wield will ALWAYS have a chance to miss.. even if you have the 8% hit it'll still have about 15-16% chance to hit. In PvP every hit counts.
Ironically,for frost, dual wielding is actually more bursty than 2h. This is because your specials do considerably more damage. 2H does less damage with each attack, but attacks more frequently because of increased RP gen.

Basically,
Threat of Thausarrian + frost presence = increased burst. specials do more damage but less frequent.
Might of Frozen Wastes + unholy presence = sustained damage. specials do less damage but are more frequent.

White attacks don't really factor into it that much; DW and 2h do about the same overall white damage. Of course you miss more while DW but this is just to make up for having more damage. White attacks are not large enough to account for significant burst for either DW or 2h.
well with regards to ah 2h, i would be in unholy presence the whole time, or frost? i've been using frost and rolling kids..
I do better as dual wield, and I don't even have a str weapon for my offhand. I'm doin about 14k obliterate crits with 2h and 21k crits dual wielded.

this is only in regards to white hits... you're specials won't miss if you are at 8%...

DW frost will produce better burst (mainly because of ToT) and runs in Frost pres, enhancing the burst further. you'll also have a better shot at proccing KM

2H isn't bad, you run in UH pres for short globals and dumping your RP. Keep in mind that with consistently moving targets, if you can't stick on them you'll have a harder time trying to build RP through Might of the Frozen Wastes (though this will be assisted a bit by UH pres at.speed boost and your amount of haste). however if you have a 2H that is much better tahn current combined 1H's, go with it for now.

TL:DR
DW can, done right, outperform 2H but it reallly boils down to
DW = burst, slower play
2H = sustained Damage quicker play
