Default Higher aggro: fewer big hits or more frequent lower ones

With the discussion in that other Warrior thread about aggro and all that jazz, I was wondering about what causes more hate towards you. Fewer hits done for high damage when using a 2HS or more frequent but lower damage hits done dual wielding? I understand that later on (especially when you can start using the gnoll hide lariats) it can really help hold aggro with the DW/procing but what about earlier on?

I know that on a pre 20 ranger using a 2HS that would hit for 40 really got the mob to notice me so I was wondering if maybe that was something that could be tried until 25 or so (before the gnoll hide lariats). Get yourself a big 2HS and perhaps the big hits will help with aggro not to mention getting double attack before hybrids would probably help too.

Thoughts?

Tempted to roll a warrior again and try just using a 2hs until 25 and then switch over to duel wielding with gnoll hides. This is all purely based on what I saw playing a ranger using a big 2hs and letting the warrior tank for a few seconds before attacking myself. I can just recall explicitly how I would quickly get aggro hitting once or twice for 40.
