2 handers and duel weilders will proc the same amount, whether its a proc on the weapon of a proc off a buff. They did this so dw would not be a hands down advantage. As for overal damage, both are pretty close. 2 hander used to be better hands down, but they made a change. I would use your preference or what ever the best weaps you can get your hands on. Another recent change was making the reposte rate the same so dw would be ok while tanking.

Pvp is probably going to be very situational, especially for a zerker. But for raw dps youre best of with as much str as possible and 2h/DW with huge damage rating and/or procs.<div></div>

<div></div>I thought the proc formula something like (Attackspeed/3) x procrate, although i heard they recently rebalanced it again. At least based on those principles, the proc rate with slow weapons is far superior to that of fast weapons, considering that combat arts erase any attack speed the item might use. Its not as large an issue for berserkers, since the slowest weapon i've ever seen is only 3.8 seconds for melee, and 7.0 for ranged, but i recall it causing ranged attacks to proc on almost every single hit. Although, dual wield weapons have strictly better raw dps, if you were to compare weapons of the same tier/rarity level.
