No, my 13/19 and 14/18 with 41% haste, VoG, Focus and Ranger buffs has maxed at 66. My best 2h is 74.
I don’t know if that is the peak for either but the 2h is consistently better and as people mentioned we don’t have triple attack.
Monks have access to far more quality 1h weapons but still, I expect 2h edges them out until the very best. And if you have an Abashi it’s next-level.

A baton of flame (13/17) has 10% better delay than the 13/19. Getting 70 DPS with Baton instead of 66 DPS with the 13/19 sounds reasonable. You said you saw a 70 DPS baton Ranger. So the difference between BiS 1h and BiS 2h for a ranger is roughly 4 DPS with your specific setup and data.
My point still stands that a Ranger who gets their 13/17 and 14/18 weapons first will probably out DPS all ranger 2h weapons except for Cek Sword and Shovel of the Harvest. The next best weapon is a Primal 2hb, which is 45/44. The ratio difference between Shovel (1.16) and Primal 2hb (1.02) is 0.14, which is a 13% loss in ratio.
That's good information to know when you are looking for what does the best DPS. 1h doesn't seem as far behind as people claim.
Raiding can be fickle. I remember Aftermath had a monopoly on Lady M for like 12 weeks. I went to every kill. I was looking for a Mithril Helm, and it never dropped after 12 consecutive kills. We did get so many Frostwraths we gave at least one away for free to a random guildie's alt lol. It's certainly possible to get unlucky on a Cek Sword or Shovel for quite a while.
