There is no point in framing your argument around one weapon or 2h v. 1h. The 2h damage bonuses (which are correct for where we are on the timeline) were ninja-patched in over a month ago. The only thing that changed is the hit distribution, and that is a mechanic that handles all weapons equally. If you have issue with it, please discuss it in this thread:

I'm sorry, but if a warrior using one-handers is even close to outparsing a monk using Tstaff (as suggested by multiple people on these forums), then something is clearly broken with 2 handed weapons. Likewise, if monk hand to hand comes close to outparsing Tstaff, something is clearly broken.

Warriors should never outparse monks. If, as you imply, the only thing broken with monk damage right now is hit distribution (which is supposedly affecting all melee classes) why are warriors consistently outparsing monks?

I'm referring to this:

All this makes me cry a little. A warrior was doing more dps then i was with his 1handers then my tsfaff. 36% haste/Tstaff to 21%haste and some 1handers. Hmm.

And also a guild xp group last week that I was in, where a 56 monk (Staff of Battle, FBSS) was getting outparsed all day by a 58 warrior (Black Dragon Blade, Ringed Mace of the Ykesha, FBSS). He was also doing more dps with his fists than with 2hb. He said when parsing his 2hb that the dps was so inconsistent it would be as low as 20 at times - his fists were consistent 60 or so dps.
