Global ones will stack and local ones won't. The rule of thumb developers have given us is that - If it modifies a property that exists on a normal (white) version of the item class, then it is local. Otherwise, it is global.

Example:

All normal weapons have x-y physical damage as a base property. "X% increased physical damage" on a weapon will thus modify that x-y base physical damage locally (so it can't "double" the benefit when you dual wield).

In contrast no normal weapon has x-y lightning damage as a base property, so "x% increased Lightning Damage" on a weapon will be global (and you can thus stack those benefits by dual wielding).

The most confusing ones are the fact that ability-to-hit is a property of normal weapons - this causes flat accuracy (+x to accuracy rating) and on-hit effects ("Cast a Socketed Lightning Spell on Hit") to also be local.

===================

Let's apply this lesson to Hyaon's fury:

---"Lightning Damage per Frenzy" is not a property of normal weapons, so dual wielding will give you 24% per frenzy.

---"Damage Taken per Frenzy Charge" is not a property of normal weapons, so dual wielding will give you 14% more damage taken at 7 stacks.

---"Life on Kill" is not a property of normal weapons, so you will get +40 Life on Kill per Frenzy Charge if you dual wield Hyaon's.
