Is Dual wield/Dual wield viable? what should the traits and enchants be? Help

I was told black rose daggers do some nice dps, so i tried to get them... i couldn't do vet... or find people on eu
However i got the normal ones!
The build i'm thinking is Relequeen + stormfist + Brp Daggers (backbar) + advancing yokeda (is it bad not having gold jewelary? It's really hard to get for me, I can do public vet but not hm)

The idea was

Stam sorcerer cp 1000 rotation:

Hurricane > Spammable (is rapid strikes good? does it proc lots of status?) > Whirwind blades > Bound armaments > conjured Dragon pet
Rending slashes(unless there's a better dot) > Cloak > Barbed trap > Bound armaments > conjured dragon pet

Main bar

Advancing yokeda: trait Nirn - Poison // trait Charges - Fire

Backbar

Brp daggers : Trait Infused - Weapon damage enchant // Second dagger ????

Does the off hand even do anything during rotations? Light attack weaves are always with the main hand right?
Should i instead use a Two handed?

Would Relequeen + advancing yokeda + executioner daggers + brp daggers be better?

What's the best spammable? Shrouded is my favorite one but the damage is low, i also like rapid strikes. I dislike crystal weapon but i was told it was the best spammable for sorcerer.

Are there better dots than rending slashes?

Are there any dots with 12-14 sec duration

My main focus is to do decent dps on dungeons and be able to join vet dlc trials... ofcourse i'll study the mechs too ... I just don't feel the need to have 123k parses... reaching 80k would already make me happy, unless 80k is too low...

    I can't say whether or not back bar daggers is good, and I've never seen someone do that. I main a magicka sorc so my advice here is mostly useless but I can say this- you don't need gold jewelry. It's simply too expensive and only adds maybe a 1-2k dps difference. Especially when you consider the fact that builds will change each patch, so golding stuff now is pointless when the meta will change or sets have a chance to be altogether ruined. I run purple jewelry in vet dlc trial hardmodes and noone says anything :)

    I know 2hander front dual wield back is competitive, with blackrose weapons on the backbar.

    I'm sure double dual wield could work, but then you would be missing out on stampede which is a great damage skill.

    Myy main character is dual / dual wield nightblade. She gets by and can do most content including some vet dungeons and some normal trials. I don't by any means think it's optimal I just haven't managed to level up the bow, I'm always busy and keep switching back and forth between bow and skills is a hassle. I'll probably now manage with the armory system to get it levelled properly when I get round to setting it up. Done Vateshran Hollows on normal with her, not attempted veteran yet.

    I do enjoy that she is dual melee though and would prefer in some ways to keep her that way but it's probably more convenient to have some ranged method of damage dealing.

    @francesinhalover Yes it is doable not meta but can be good. With those sets I would run Bloodthirst over Rapid (Bloodthirst only1-2% behind and has massive heals), whirlwind (don't use til 20%), hurricane or Crit Surge if you need more heals, Bound Arms, Clannfear. Backbar: Deadly Cloak (To proc the Blackrose buff), Rending Slashes or Consuming Trap from Soul line if having sustain issues, Barbed Trap, Bound Arms, Clannfear. Stormfist is a massive hitter on Stamsorc and the Blackrose buff will give you the extra power you need. I can hit between 85-90K with that basic set up but use Tzogvin's so I dont have to use Barbed and can run both hurricane and crit surge. It's not going to break the game with it's dps but very survivable and great in dungeons.

    Sorry Nirnhoned/Sharpened frontbar with flame/poison enchant, Infused back bar, both, with Weapon damage/ Absorb Stam enchants ^^. Unless you decide to switch to Tzogvin's front bar in which case switch the sharpened to Precise.

    I am going with 2 daggers: Nirnhorned + Precise, Lover for penetration in pugs and instead of glyphs: poison.

    You may want to consider going double arena weapons for a DW /DW build. Body would be Rele/AY Or Rele/Tzogvin. Drop Stormfist. Back bar is BRP daggers with cloak, front bar is Vateshran Daggers with Hidden blade as your spammable. Gives you a bit of range, and can probably drop Whirlwind to simplify your life a bit, as the vateshran daggers buff your execute damage. They are also nice for sustain and allow for some range if you do need to leave melee range for mechanics

    Tzogvin also frees a bar slot ( I run Tzogvin in pretty much all 4 man content, magic or stam.). May not win any parse wars, but having a spot for Crit Surge is great. Awesome heals, especially with hurricane, and if you have room on your front bar for Cammo Hunter (you will if you drop whirlwind), you take care of your major damage buffs (major brutality and major savagery) so you can run cheap potions. This build would encourage you to flank the enemy (Vateshran daggers and Camo Hunter), but that is usually good practice anyways.

    Might not be meta, but would make for a very good 4 man setup, even with a trash healer.
