I mean for the vast vast majority of the spec's history DW has been stronger than 2h. At present on alpha DW is just fundamentally stronger then 2h and if blizzard doesn't change how frost works mechanically will always be stronger.
I would say at present your concern is unfounded.
Tonight for me is a special day. I want to go outside of the house of the girl I like with a gasoline barrel and write her name on the road and set it on fire and tell her to get out too see it (is this illegal)?
Not to be argumentative but 2h frost was a possibility all through 3.x. It didn't perform as well as DW but it was indeed an option. I'm happy to have it and I think with the way they're working Single Minded Fury it means they'll both be viable no matter what you prefer. I'd like to be a big icy Shadowmourne wielding killing machine
Anyone worrying about DW performing better than stick with DW, not that hard of a concept lmao.
Id argue they should have never had dual wield in the first place. Death Knights were never shown to be dual wielders until WoW did them. They are described as slow juggernauts wielding massive runeblades. By your logic I could ask you to go roll a warrior or rogue. They are way more appropriate for dual wielding than DKs ever were.
But ultimately more options are better. If you want to play a frost rogue, you go ahead mate. I want to play a proper death knight, wielding the might of northrend with a big ol' sword/axe.
There was an argument a while ago that unholy should've been the dual wield build. Death by a thousand infected cuts is way more unholy themed. Obliterate and Frost Scythe sounds more like they depict two handed blows, either from big double bit axe, or a big scythe.
Just a reminder, 2H frost will be able to use the awesome 2H runeblades from unholy and blood, some of then are quite good and thematic:

I'd probably skip the celebrations team. We're on the beta now and there's still been nothing so far as DK work from blizzard. As it stands 2h Frost is still DoA.
