Not only will a good two hander out parse most 1 hander setups (like...most meaning until you have your epics) you will take less damage from riposte and ds effects on mobs while meleeing.
Splitting hairs here.
I use both 2h and dual-wield and found the results to be comparable.

2h will get less ripostes, true, but it's also more unreliable dps. Sometimes you take a nice chunk off the enemy's hps; sometimes you whiff and your dps goes down the toilet. Dual-wield is, in general, more reliable dps - if we're both at, say, 40% life, and it's a race down to 0, I'd generally stick with dual-wield as I know exactly how fast I can get an enemy down. With 2h, it's a bit of a crapshoot. But it's not a huge difference either way, really, assuming similar ratio weapons.
