No:
* 2h agro has a negative modifier (-30% iirc), so SoB edge over 1hander not as big as ratio makes it look
* Melee agro is affected by primary hand bonus (or at least it was on live, have not parsed it here) so again SoB edge over fast 1hander is not nearly as big as it looks once you're higher level
* Dual wield fires way more often as you skill it up, off-hand 1hander doesn't get primary hand bonus but also doesn't get 2h malus
* High agro procs (stun, stun+dd, & poison dots) are huge
My 50 warrior holds agro far better with Sarnak Warhammer + Trochillc's Skean than with his Staff of Battle.
Although, it's also true that if your group is just crushing mobs due to the usual massive twinking you could just get a caster or hybrid to root everything and you can hold agro bare fisted with maybe an occasional slam or shield bash for style points.
