I like how you're sure of that even though there are currently zero Shamans able to dual wield, and the Shaman DW talent is pure hit only.

That has no bearing whatsoever on being able to do math based on already-known rules.
If you head on over to
this thread, you can get a warrior DPS spreadsheet. With about five minutes worth of changing the talent spec and what attacks are used, you can get the spreadsheet to mirror the effects of how it could work with a shaman's white damage output - including weapon/totem buffs, chance to hit, weapon skill, and pretty much any other attribute you want.
Dual-wielding, in general, has always been higher DPS than using comparable-level 2h weapons
as long as you're appropriately geared for it. I'm sorry if it comes across as blind speculation, but why would Blizzard intentionally make the pinnacle of the enhancement tree and it's next 5 points
worse than a 1-point talent close to the top of the tree?
