✭✭✭✭✭I don't know if there's a hard number available yet, but from my eyeball-estimate, it looks like you attack close to 50% faster with dual wield (spam-clicking) as you do with a two-hander. But one-handed can also be combined with shields.
Ultimately, if you want more AoE abilities, then you want to use a two-handed weapon. Dual-wield is for quick, nasty damage that is mainly single target. One-hand and shield is for damage mitigation and general tanking.----

Shimond✭✭✭✭I thought dual wield had the better AE options with Whirlwind. I know 2h has the splash damage passive but isn't that only like 25%?0 -
Shazarak✭I don't know if 1H is faster than 2H... I think it should but I have no proof of it.
You should consider also that 2Wield are 2 weapon and you have many advantages in having 2 weapons (being them 2 wield or 1H+Shield):
1) You can enchant both of them (let's say ATK SPEED?)
2) You can reach 2/3 of bonus sets!
Auto attack of 2H is slower than 2Wield or at least it seems to me
I choose 2Wield because of the 2 point listed above

No, all weapons in the same class are identical damage/speed. The only differences are the additional effects you might get through passives.1 -

I don't think so, but certain passive abilities give using daggers increased crit
