Given your class and stats, I would assume that you are your party's Tank. Therefore, stick with a Shield, at least for now. Tanks are primarily for defense, and should be used as such. It's true that Dual-weilding gives you more offensive power, but that doesn't mean you can't deal out plenty of carnage with a single weapon alone (especially with your STR). Hone your skills toward being immune to the attacks of 95% of the enemies in the game, and let your spellcasters worry about the rest.
