i always kept up my 2hs/2hb skill on live as a ranger, but tbh i never really needed or used a 2h in solo or group play much, just for fun purposes mostly.
Go with duel weilding for sure! theres some nice 1hs/1hb and piercers out there for ya.
The bow is good if you NEED to solo, thats about the only way you can,.since there are no AA abilities the only bow spcialty you get is Trueshot disc in kunark, so in a raid situation you will most likely be standin up there with the rogues as your melee output will outdo your bow.
The class is fun tho, lots of utlility. just snare everymob if theres a chance it could walk into adds around 20-40% and get ready to root CC occasionally and you be fine.
