I think DW from builds on various pages.

May depend on the situation though, burst pvp, sustained pve, boss pve.

DW is higher single target wise, really depends on player skill for AoE DPS as there are viable builds out there for both weapons AOE DPS wise

im talking about single target boss pve

Personally I prefer 2handers. Dual wield just feels too gimpy to me.

Momentum + stacking weapon damage you can pull some great damage from two-handers. DW also has some good builds (though I used it more with my DK) that can provide good DPS. I think there are builds really to pull high DPS from either. I think wrecking blow is the main damager in 2h and flurry for DW. As long as you have good weapon damage, maybe some buffs and DoTs, either can work if you can sustain your stam pool.

I don't consider myself terribly good at the game--im decent--but my DW DK could hold ~700dps depending on the boss. Not terrible but also not great, but that doesn't mean people haven't pulled much much higher with DW.

For a Nightblade Dual Wielding is the best because you have a built in execute. Outside of that, for say a DK or a Templar, 2H is better. That is of course you can rock a 2H just as fine as a NB using the 2H skills.

Yeah Dual WIeld is the way to go for NBs for higher DPs output. That & a bow!
