Why do most monks use dual weild and not 2hb?

So, I'll be the first to admit, I'm a big fan of 2hb and idk why, I think I just love seeing the mobs health disappear in chunks.
But almost every monk I see, I see using dual weild. Am I gimping myself by not using dual weild? Are there benefits of 1 vs the other?

Depends on situation but mostly due to level. Once you hit 50+ DW is usually a better option DPS wise. Typically gives a bit more threat generation as well if you're tanking a dungeon or something.

2HB is 100% the way to go when leveling though, it's just better DPS across the board.
