How does dual wield work? If a pet is high enough level to dual wield, you can simply give it a torch and it will begin dual wielding? Can you give a pet a 2-hander and a torch and still get it to dual wield? If so, does the order matter?

What are some good pet weapons? Gnoll hide lariats, deadwood staves, tash sticks, swarmcallers, what else is worth knowing about?

Yes, you can dual wield a pet with a 2 hander, the order does matter
(i believe, but tbh am not 100% certain). First give it a torch, or something offhand only. (works with shields, too)
Then give it the Swarmcaller.
IMO, swarmcaller is the only pet wep I use in most situations. I don't like the deadwood staves as much as a Necro, because they break root. On an enchanter its much better with 2 Staves + Boon + VoG --- but with a Necro, i use swarmcaller and just reset the pet.
Necros have the easiest time resetting their pets, even easier than Enchanter. On my enchanter I typically cheese it.. Pacify the pet while it's still charmed and /camp.
Necro, however, can use Rest the Dead on pet while its charmed and then FD to break charm / mem blur all in one. For this reason, I don't bother giving the pet the staves, or anything but a Swarmcaller to lengthen the time between needing to reset.
This also works wonders for getting the solo exp. Before pet is about to kill the mob, back it off, Rest the Dead, and then FD. Stand up, finish mob with a Deflux or let Splurt / Epic Click finish the mob for full exp. Pet will reset and start regenning 5% a tick, recharm and get going again.
