easy fix to this issue:
Remove 2hand damage bonus all together, roll back the changes UNTIL this is ready to come out properly
the server doesn't need 2hand damage bonus that badly, trust me drybone is still gonna kill any perd shidder.
it is WAY WAY better to play on a reverted time line a few more years than play a broken game a few years

Again removing *broadly* the 2handed Bonus isn't really viable. Especially since the method of damage even with the Weighted Axe (that is very selective in Race & Class to begin with) doesn't compete with normal PvE damage (on that same class).
The issue arise with PvP and this type of damage that few gear to combat against.
Classic had the 2handed Bonus about this time while Archery damage in game at this time does not seem to reflect some of the damage reported by Allakhazam post.
Now with all this said do I think the 2handed Weighted Axe should be wearable by None/None on the PvP server as a bandaid fix for this? Yes.
But, just removing the 2handed Bonus added from delay isn't classic.

Low-Delay Weapons and Damage Bonus Changes:
In accordance with our announcement several weeks ago, two low-delay weapons can now only be equipped in the off-hand. Included in this change are the Mosscovered Twig and the Barbed Scale Whip. The delay on these weapons and the associated damage bonus to weapons in the primary hand made these weapons much too powerful for their availability and the risk associated with their acquisition.
In addition, two-handed weapons have had their damage-bonus modified. The damage-bonus for low-delay two-handed weapons (27 or below) created a problem similar to the weapons above and has been reduced. The damage-bonus has not changed for normal-delay (28-39) two-handed weapons. The damage bonus for high-delay two-handed weapons (40+) has been increased.

Summary of Melee Changes:
Two-Handed Weapons have been given an increased damage bonus for characters over level 50. Also, certain post-epic quality two-handers have been improved.
Here is a table that has the correct values after all the changes listed above. I don't remember what they were before those patches.

Even the 2 handed Weighted Axe is mentioned here in this thread.
