When we rip the balance to pieces for 0.9.3, dual wielding will rise from the ashes as a viable play-style. I hear your complaints, and class it is a very high priority balance fix.

That part is still true, and an advantage to the dual wielder.
Seems like there's a general feeling that dual wielding isn't up to snuff, but I think this thread has sparked some interesting discussion.

It would be interesting to try a gear/gem duelist build that stacks much flat elemental damage as possible. However it seems that the flat dmg elemental damage support gems do relatively little damage at high difficulties (and 2 of the 3 cannot be lvled up by duelists/marauders) and I *think* you can only get elemental dmg on jewelry (and from what I've seen, only in rather low amounts).

On top of which 2h has doublestrike (a multiplicative 100% IAS) to proc tons of flat elemental dmg as well :D
