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.
Dual wielding also gives you a 15% attack speed bonus.
