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.

mob has to be 46 to proc swarmcaller
order doesnt matter IIRC - but i always tossed it swarmcaller first then a torch (tome of the eternal works as well if you're going -MR kit)
for normal XP solo you would never do this - far more efficient to just charm and cycle pets unless you're in a spot where there aren't a ton of undead to choose from
if you're in HS you just use the HTs to do the dmg, not keeping 1 pet with a swarmcaller that would be big dumb
