Using a dual weapon combo lowers your actual weapon skill relative to your dual skill.
So:
If you had a 100 skill in dual weapons and a 50 in sword and dagger, you would suffer little, if any, penalty to your weapon skills.
But, if you have a 10 in dual and a 100 in sword and a 100 in dagger, you will suffer a huge penalty to your actual weapon skill.
Dual weapon is devasting once you get both the dual AND weapon skills high. Basically, it takes longer to develop, but its worth it.
The Samurai is great for dual because he gets a bonus to sword and can fight with a sword in each hand. So, for a samurai, sword increases super-fast while dual increases normally.
Lords/fighters are harder because they have to dual with a sword and dagger and split the weapon points between them.
