Even though this is a DTalon thread, I figured it would be of interest.
I took an Assassin out onto the blood moor a while back with 2x claws socketed with "Strength" (Amn + Tir). Each claw therefore gave +20 Strength, 25% CB, and 7% LL. I also tested with two dual socketed gemmed claws, one with 2x lightning gems the other with one fire and one cold gem.
With the "Strength" claws the assassin's Blade Fury appeared to cause Crushing Blows (dramatic "chunky" loss of life) on monsters when dual wielding far more frequently than when she was just wielding one claw. I gave this a run over a couple of monsters, because it seemed horribly broken to me and I wanted to be sure.
With the elemental damage claws equipped, it appeared that only the elemental/spell effects from the first claw equipped get applied via Blade Fury. Depending on which claw I equipped first monsters would either zap or turn blue/explode, but with the blue/red claw on first, i'd never see the lightning zap.
Anyone want to confirm / doublecheck? :)
As for Dragon Talon, I say who cares - wield "Crescent Moon" and it's gg. But I will say that wielding "The Cranium Basher", reported very similar damage on the LCS to wielding an ordinary flanged mace..
