There's no advantage with Necrosis, Impurity, or BCB and dual wielding. Necrosis and BCB are based on your weapon's damage, so the increased proc frequency is balanced out by reduced damage. Impurity... has no effect at all on anything related to dual wielding. URM does benefit dual wield specs, but really if it works like it reads you're not going to have any problem keeping it up as a DPS in Unholy Presence anyhow, since disease ticks, Necrosis, BCB, Wandering Plague, and so on would proc it in addition to your autoattacks. Unfortunately right now URM appears to have an insanely low proc rate (around 2-3% even just counting actual activated abilities) and we havn't figured out why yet.

well... not exactly true.
bcb and necrosis both scale with your white damage instead of with your overall or yellow;
dual-wielding sacrifices yellow damage from instant strikes in favor of white damage scaling faster with ap.

impurity actually goes worse with a dual weilding build than with a 2h one, since a dw build will need to toss some ap for +hit, and impurity is all about making yellow damage scale better.
