2h is bad, it's fun to 2 shot people, but you are running on chance and if you dont' 2 shot them you are dead lol.

Windfury has 20% chance to proc on hit.
Lets say typical slow 1 hander wield by shamana has 2.5s speed (mh and oh), typical 2hander does 3.4.
With 2hander you have 20% chance to proc windfury each 3.4s (5.8% per second)
With 2 1handers you have two 20% chances to proc windfury each 2.5s (16% per second)
Numbers dont inluclude flurry.
Windfury from 2hander is sure harder, but the proc rate is much (3 times) lower. Does it hit 3 times harder? No.
Also notice that its just a chance. Its not fixed to proc each 5 hits. With 2hnader it can not proc for like 10 hits and its still realistic.
2 things wrong with it - the proc rate for dual wielding is 36 percent WF not 16 percent.
Also if your slow 2h is slower than 3 seconds the WF proc rate drops.
However if you can get a 2h at say 3.00 speed your proc rate is 20 percent with.
Finally, you are never guarantted a proc on SS with a 2 hander, is it possible it could happen more often sure, but the proc rate on SS with 2 slow 1handers is just as great. Let's not mislead people here. 2handed WF is fun for pvp, but not better than dual wield. I have seen 2h FB recently in some pvp and that looks to be an even better use of 2 handers.
