I mean, if you use Concentrate, will it alternate using each sword for the Concentrate skill?
Concentration doesn't alternate between your two weapons, it only swings the one in your characters right hand (same for Berserk, Stun, and Bash). You can use this to your advantage if you have a big slow sword you can pair it with a weapon that has a very fast base speed (only base speed matters for the left hand). When you use concentrate (especially if you charge up frenzy first), you end up swinging your big sword very fast. You're probably better off just using the sword two-handed style with concentrate, but it's something to consider if you like speed :D.

WW when dual wielding gets many more hits than a big 2-hander. If you've got alot of crushing blow, this can be a good way to go.

Occhi reccomended Executioner's swords for classic, but I disagree. They have the highest 1-handed damage, but I prefered Ancient, Rune, or Zwiehander's due to much lower reqs and higher speeds. Range is pretty irrelevant for frenzy. For WW, hitting the speed breakpoints is more important than range (PvM at least), so speed is where it's at imo :D.
