With 41℅ haste, my paladin seems to be doing approximately 35-38 dps against dark blue mobs in classic zones with my 47/41 2hb. Against the same mobs, my 24/22 1hs does closer to 32-35 dps (excluding the proc). The 1hs has far more consistent dps while the 2hb can be hilariously variable.
Against green mobs with low AC, the 2hb is way better (dumb sand giants don't know what hit them), but generally 2h weapons do seem less effective than you'd expect. I'm sure this gets even worse as mob level and AC increases.
I'll keep both weapons in my bags and swap out at random to keep things interesting, but I've gone so far as to update my Magelo to reflect the 1hs as my primary weapon. I should note that the superior fashion rating of the sword played a big role in that momentous decision.
