TheGodThatFailed, Slings and Darts are ranged weapons, and therefore do not get the Single Weapon Style bonuses. Besides, pure Wizards can't learn any weapon styles at all.

As far as I can tell, the only real advantage of Single Weapon Style is the increased chance of a Critical Hit, which means it's very important for Thieves (Swashbucklers excepted). Kensai, on the other hand, are MUCH better off Dual-wielding.
