-10 AC is considered weak in ToB. My solo Cavalier had -18 AC, and it helped tremandously( -20 AC is of course the best). A dead man, is a harmless man. The only time I can see the benefits of dualwielding is to use the Defender of Easthaven. This is from the solo perspective of couse, where survival is key, as opposed to a raw offensive( unless you are talking about Mages/Sorcerers).
Maybe it is because I play on Insane Difficulty, but most people do nowadays anyway, thus I would want to avoid getting hit at any point of time. When an enemy can hit for 40+ damage and attacks 4-5 times per round with fantastic THACO, damage will not seem so important after all and you will want to look into ways on how to improve your AC/Defense.
