I never see 2h Barbs unless they're rather funded with A3/4 Inferno Gear. They go Sword and Board until then, then they go super ultra 200k+ DPS ownage.
The way dual wielding works is that you get the passive effects of both weapons, such as STR and VIT boost, Fury increase, etc. The DPS per weapon though is only applied when you strike with that weapon. So let's say your range with weapon 1 is 20k and with weapon 2 its 17k. When you hit with weapon 2, you'll deal slightly less damage because that weapon's got different stats and in this case, is inferior to weapon 1. If you use a shield you get every bonus the shield gets. Works the same with Monks who DW daggers/maces/fist weapons and for Demon Hunters who DW 1h Crossbows. And Yes I think Polearms @^^^^ wasn't entirely sure but that.
