As a DW you don't use obliterate, meaning that your rotation is limited to necrotic strike & howling blast, and dumping runic power with frost strikes. It means that you can get up more necrotic strikes while dual wielding since obliterate consumes both a frost and an unholy rune. The height of your necrotic strike (i.e. the healing absorb you put on your opponent equals 70% of your attack power). There is - depending on your weapons obviously - little difference between dw & 1H total attack power you get. It's all about the amount of necrotic strikes you can do, where dw clearly wins it from 1H.

From a single player perspective: I started with the 397 1h this season, and in 2s I had problems with killing priests. Switched to dual wielding, and they are no longer an issue. In 3s I prefer the 2H however, as I feel it's much more pressure overall.

But much depends on the pve weapon & trinkets you can obtain. If you have apparatus you definitely want to dual wield, if you have the deathwing weapon you obviously want to 1h.
