Mainhand:
Rev whip = 1.5
Jade mace = 1.611
Earthcaller = 1.625
GCM = 1.65
CBoL = 1.722
Exq. Velium = 1.75
SBoZ = 1.833
HOH = 1.855
Offhand:
Swiftwind = 1.238 (and 41% haste)
SBoZ = 1.222
BoC = 1.304
2h:
Argent P. = 2.571
Woodsman = 2.611
Herb shovel = 2,674
Technically a SBoZ + epic scores 3,071 which is higher than the 2handers but you have what, 40% miss rate on offhands? So that swiftwind 1.238 becomes 0.743 so 2.576 combined which is about on par with an argent protector that is now worth 2,5k on green. Nothing wrong with 1handers but they're a lot more money/hassle for similar results on paper. 5% extra haste and +30atk with swiftwind compared to a 36% item and you free up a slot though so that's nice but you now have to get at least a CBoL just to stay on par with a cheap 2hander.

I did a post on 1h vs 2h DPS for my 52 Monk. In the low 50s 1h combos can out DPS 2h weapons. This is because the 2h damage bonus is smaller. My Epic Fist + SoS was out DPSing an IFS when I wasn't fistweaving. They were very similar when fistweaving. Rangers can't fistweave, so it wouldn't surprise me if something like Wurmslayer + Swiftwind could out-DPS a Woodsman Staff at 52.
That being said, Fear Kiting, Bow Kiting, or Jousting would probably work better for solo Rangers in their 50s. 1h weapons don't work well for any of those strategies, so it's somewhat of a moot point.
Hopefully Bcbrown will share some parsing at some point to see if there is any significant difference between Monks and Rangers. Monks do have higher dual wield in the low 50s, so that will be a bit different from a Ranger.
