The question is whether you want to use your spells or not. My swarm (can't afford woods yet) hits for a max of 58 (72 str buffed), with double attack, at lvl 23. Every other swing I throw in an ignite for another 37 dmg, which adds up to about 25% of my average melee dmg. The only melee that outdamages me is a twinked rogue.
I'm sure dual wurms is great and all, but if you didn't want to play a hybrid and use your spells, you'd be better off with a rogue imo. 2h really just meshes with the ranger's abilities better, and I'd take a small DPS hit any day (assuming there is one, which pre-epic I doubt) for the ability to nuke, cc, dot, or heal without losing any of my melee dps while doing it.
