What about enchants, though?
If you multiply the stats for 1h enchants by two, it is generally a bit higher than its 2h counterpart. Example in WotLK would be the AP enchants. You can either get 60 AP to a 1h weapon (120 total), or if you have a 2h weapon, you can get 110 AP. If the stats on the 2h vs 1hs are the same, you should take the enchants into consideration since you'll get 10 more AP out of the dual wielding.
Although, historically, 2h weapons have always had slightly more stats allocated to them than 2 1h weapons. It's not necessarily better, they just had a few more points for blizzard to play around with.
