I really don’t remember much of original dk. Can you use 2h weapon for frost or was there some restrictions on skills?
you can use 2hander if you want to.
Do not underestimate the powers of Double Runeforge on both weapons (Razorice is a must + Fallen Crusader = dream)
Killing machine procs (you get absolute crap procs with 2h, have fun tickling people with frost strike)
For 6 points, it is damn well worth it.
Also being able to hit with offhand on every one of your strikes scales with your other talents with crit bonuses. Doesn’t matter if you play PvE or PvP, you will also get 3% hit from dual wielding, allowing you to focus on other stats.
In PvP frost strikes deal a significant amount of your damage, if not the highest. The damage from Threat of Thassarian and a second runeforge (You can have almost 100% uptime on fallen crusader - 15% strength if you have melee uptime), coupled with 3x more frequent killing machine procs is much more deadly.
It seems like you just want to hit hard; and even with 2hander you will not even come close to dual wield.
You are free to do as you like; but it is quite obvious on Wotlk that Frost is intended to be dual wielded.
Ask a PvE frost dk the same question. Their answer will be similar, if not the same.
Also, in frost pvp if you follow a frost PvE rotation then you are also screwed because obliterate is easily disrupted if the target cleanses diseases. Also you will need to use chains of ice extremely often, lowering the frequency of obliterate immensely. Basically in PvP frost, all you have to do to do mad damage is get frost fever on the target, and go ham with frost strike crits. You also play in unholy presence which boosts the speed of BOTH your weapons which obviously gives you more runeforging procs right?

I vaguely remember 2h frost being worthwhile for huge obliterate hits, while dual wield was worthwhile for faster RP generation and procs so more often howling blast/frost strikes.
That said, this is second hand information. I may not be exactly accurate as to why they were both viable, I only remember that they were.
I don’t think its as good as dual wielding. I know in Cata we use a 2h as frost though.
from looks both frost and UH go DW as its better
