I'd actually be quite interested to see the source of the 2H weapon bit, since I've been dual-wielding the McGowan heirlooms here for the past 37 levels or so.

The thing about 2h's is due to the stat allocations, if DW is an upgrade go for it. I leveled all the way to 90 DW tanking with no effect on my ability to tank what so ever.
There is no effect on your threat generation (the main reason dk dw tanks used to be gimped) and in turn your damage, there is no fear of parry haste anymore, it all simply comes down to stats and ultimately if i'm able to get my hands on 2 of the swords I will be DW tanking until I can get a 2h that will beat it (which due to working 3 jobs could well be quite some time).

If you have another one hander that is a similar ilvl to the Horseman's sword, you could dual weild it, but if your 2hander is still better then both of them, keeping using that tank.

They can be better just because they usually have more stats on them for tanking compared to the one handers; but low level questing/leveling it's not that big of a deal.

Personally, I don't like it. I am dual wielding two fist weapons, one is a 476 epic and the other is 463 blue. I could use it instead of the blue, but when I was swapping it in and out and checking my stats, the only difference was that it got slightly increased my off-hand damage, and gave me a few extra hp. On the other hand, the 463 blue fist has
way more
agility, which translates into more attack power, and indeed, the sword did make my total AP drop down. So I figured I would rather have the more AP and a little bit of dodge from my old blue one hander, than from the epic one.
It's not like the Exp and Hit on the sword would help me in any way, since I am capped in both already.
Armory
, in case of interest.
