2H weapons are an alternatively route for low-level warriors, who don't want to camp Painbringer or can't afford Obsidian Shards outright at level 16. To paraphrase it: there is no reason to care about 1H and dual-wield before you can acquire those Shards or at least a PB. PGT procs sort of a "mini rune" but the aggro mod is subpar to obsidian shatter. So if you purchase one, rather put it off hand.
That said, for 2H weapons are two points to ponder. First, there is a damage cap of 20 up to level 10, and 40 from level 10-20. Second, you won't get more than 2x weapon base damage until level 20. That renders weapons with high damage/delay, like Executioners Axe, almost as useless as a bronze sword, and Axe of the Slayers doesn't proc below level 30.
