Default Newbie SK 1H/2H gauging DPS / efficiency

Yes I know we aren't all about DPS and should be a minor concern.

Often, though, I'm soloing or duoing - rarely in a full group.

I don't think I have noticed any difference when I'm using 1h/shield or a 2h whether it be solo/duo/group or anything - and looking for some perspective.

Currently almost 31 using Ebon Mace / Crustacean Shield, and my 2H is Axe of the Lost Souls (30/40 thing).

People say 1h/shield for tanking/grouping, 2h for solo/duo etc. But I'm not noticing much between the two. I'm all about efficiency so curious if someone might be able to break those down in terms of DPS.

I do somehow feel the Ebon Mace does a little bit more damage because it swings much more, and missing with the 2H really sucks. And the DMG feels weird, sometimes consistent 60/65 damage with the 2h and the odd (or lucky) 100-115 damage hit, but those are rare. And again I feel like I miss a lot and the recovery takes awhile.

I've got on SCHW for haste if that helps anything.

Thoughts? In my head a 1H 19/24 seems like an awesome ratio over a 30/40... but then there are talks of 2h damage bonuses and other stuff, and mathematical equations on some forums that are often argued against or incorrect - so who knows.
