Monk dps is largely independent from position, so the real answer is monk's are idiots when their choice of position causes problems with push or agro (blowing rogue stabs).

Monk dps does depend on positioning insofar as the mob cannot parry/riposte/dodge etc when someone is smacking them from the back. Additionally, I believe that the back of the mob has lowered AC.
However, mob push during raids is more undoubtedly more important and a monk-- all dps for that matter-- should be conscious of their positioning and the general push of the mob and how the raid desires said target to be handled.
Edit: In terms of the OP's original question, it is very rare when a monk needs to pull out the 2hb. Only times I would use a 2hb is when I'm soloing or tanking or pvp, but these situations are rare as monk soloing 50+ is difficult without raid gear and monk can tank but its just not preferable. Epic+sos is just such good dps right now that I can't see why one would want to use 2bh except to mix it up on a fight or two. If I'm not mistaken, innerflame benefits dual wield more than it does 2hb.
In terms of damage shields and eating rage, yea 2hb will be better; but you should NEVER eat rage and there are usually casters present to remove DS.
