After having done similar research few weeks back on these boards and elsewhere and taking budget into consideration - it would seem that good way to go is:
- Trance sticks until 20, as they're fast and your damage is capped.
- At 20 (you lose dmg cap), switch to Wu's Quivering staff, as it's cheap and has great ratio
- When you have more money, upgrade to IFS/Peacebringer
- Final upgrade is to have epic/Stave of Shielding
From what I've understood, is that the damage bonus on MH kicks in fairly late and it takes a while to get really good - so having a fast weapon in your MH won't do much good until much later. And 2HB weapons have great ratios and are affordable.
But take this with a grain of salt, as this is second hand information.
Oh, and some pros/cons to consider:
Dualwielding:
- Hurts when against DS'd mobs
- More agro
+ Damage output stays somewhat constant
2HB:
- Damage output can vary a lot based on RNG
+ Big hits feel good
