Lords get a bonus to dual wield skill, so it's natural that your lord would be ahead of the fighters in this skill. How high is the dual wield skill of your fighters? In my experience, it does take quite a while before dual wield skill works reliably (usually by mid-game I'm finally seeing good results), and for this reason, I often prefer to go with shields. Both senses and dexterity are controlling attributes for the dual wield skill, but of the two, dexterity is probably more favourable for fighters since it will increase the number of attacks, improve chances of a successful hit, and make you more difficult for enemies to hit. Dexterity will also unlock reflection skill, whereas senses unlocks eagle eye. Unless for some reason you're concentrating on ranged skill with your fighters, it's best to work on dexterity and strength, rather than senses. Another consideration in this is your choice of weapon. Weapons with a bonus "to hit" might make the difference for you. Hope this is helpful!
