Ever since knights received a much-needed boost to their combat skills, 2hers have been outperforming 1hers, at least for raid encounters. Personally always liked Green Jade Halberd for the added HP, but it is rather heavy; something worth considering as a dark elf. My high elf still struggles with encumberance at level 60 from time to time, destroying silver and copper pieces and swapping in STR gear.
Though it isn't all that necessary as others have mentioned, if you want to work on combat skills, I happened upon a Blood Fork the other day. Not the best ratio in Norrath, but free is free and forks are on the rare side in KC.
It is odd that Shadow Knights were penalized with the lower piercing skill (210) than Paladins (225); all Warrior aspects of hybrids being ignored, Necromancers are able to reach 110 in piercing whereas Clerics don't even have it as a combat skill.
