Dual Handed vs. Main Hand spec ?

Say you can/want put 29 spec in a line.

Why isn’t putting it into LA/DW/CD and nothing into the main hand viable?
Does style damage suffer? Does the increase swing of off hand offset the variance loss?
Also then having ability to switch between damage types?

Because your base damage and miss chance will be completely screwed. Comp 52 in the main weapon spec caps out base damage which is then modified by your style multipliers. Typically if you're an advanced weapon line user you're using styles from those lines almost exclusively. You will typically use a main weapon spec style for utility (ASR, Snare) and in some instances they might out damage advanced weapon styles if you're low spec (rangers that run 18CD for example)

You CAN go comp 52 in multiple weapon lines and swap damage types. Sometimes Berserkers will do that with slash and crush.

A Merc or BM will typically be giving up slam to do that which is likely not worth giving up 9sec anytime stun utility.
