dual wield will do more damage by a very inconsiderate amount and cost more for pvp weapons and 2her is more reliable less misses.

At beginning of cata, I remember 2 handers did more aoe dps than dual wielding. As far as dps on single target, its what "the best weapons you have available", something that blizzard is trying to push cata onwards.

2H has better single target damage for now, while DW has better AoE. The single target difference isn't much, but the AoE difference is.

You need to take into the account that your different strukes will hit harder by using a 2h wep, for instance you may crit higher too.
Not exactly. Frost strike hits harder with DW due to

I've returned to WoW this week after about a 2 year haitus.
I've speced to UH as I thought it was the only build that I could use a 2H Weapon with, I have never warmed to UH as the Ghoul always gets on my nerves.
If I can 2H dps with a frost spec, I think it will suit me needs better. Currently I am leveling to 90 in lvl 85 low blues and greens, could a Blood build be a better option to use for leveling?

No. Blood is terrible for 85+ leveling.
It kills so slow. Sure you are practically immortal, but it doesnt really matter...
frost can handle most of the stuff i used to aoe pull with blood and if you spec like
that
you shouldnt have problems anyway as you have plenty of defensive cds, can kite or run away and can heal for a lot after every kill.
Frost 2h kills stuff
5
times faster than blood. Dont make my mistake of wasting days for leveing because you were too lazy to spec frost. Sure blood is great for dungeons but there is only 4 and they dont give any good exp, once you got the gear from all and quest finished there is no real purpouse of visiting them any more, unless you want to waste some time.

Blood is fine to have as an off spec for the times you wanna take one on one with a rare or elite mob, but othervise it's better to just have DPS spec for leveling.
Also speaking of frost, I've never felt this time since the early Wrath, when DK's were first introduced and just crawling up through the content. Only more... refined. Polished. With better abilities and clearer sence of what the hell you're doing. She's friggin' unstoppable. Literally zero downtime. When I get the confirmation, that 84-85 level mobs I've been killing don't drop the right materials at all, I vent to Krasarang (Path of Frost and ride all the way on the water yau) and started killing 86-87 mobs out there. Nothing changed, until I accidentally pulled Elder Snapdragon. Elites there are damn hard to manage. Got it to 5%, but had no HP to fight through shell spin after that point.

I disagree. I stayed Blood while leveling and pulled every mob I saw and BB, DnD, and RS my little butt off. DS for the self heals and 100k crits. Stay in DPS gear and spec Blood imo. Also I only go DPS when raiding. Rare spawns do not stand a chance when I'm in Blood spec. Get DPS gear and go nuts! I got lucky on my first Sha kill and got the 496 2H so now I really kick ass on rare spawns! The lame thing is I was DW and using 2 blue H swords and doing more DPS- even on single target fights. I like the play style better!
