Duel wield is popular because it helps you add set bonuses to your gear and have stats of their own (e.g. Precise). The passives don't come into play really as you're very rarely stabbing anything with them.
I beleive I was one of those people that told you to use axes and daggers
To be clear, weapons definitely DO make a difference, but unless you are trying to push the limits for top DPS, then you are more or less free to make your choice based on aesthetics. If you like dual wielding swords, and hate the look of the other weapons, then dual wield swords. Will your DPS be lower? Yeah. Will you like your char more? Probably.
Probably the more important thing to pay attention to at the moment is the weapon trait. Make sure to have sharpened on everything at the moment. Nothing beats it.
