Always always duel wield as frost! Look at Threat of Thassarian and see why...
DW strong points:
Rune of Razorice
, more KM procs, high autoattack damage, good sustained damage
Yes KM procs a lot but the melee damage is not that all special... its always 5-6th on Recount unlike say SMF Warriors where its No. 1 in damage.

Dude, calm down! Jesus... No one said anything about comparing classes and what not. Just saying auto attack damage is under every other ability. The original question about 2H to DW has been answered several times already.
How do YOU use damage meters then since the rest of us are incorrect apparently? How does a chart that sees if are pulling your own weight destroying the game? Is it easier to troll World of Logs after every boss pull?

Personally I'm liking 2H atm. 280k OB crits ftw!

very simple difference... acquiring a 2handed will be cheaper then 2 one handed for your initial, however; if your either well funded or at level cap go for the two 1 handers after building the bulk of your gear set. Your runes stack and your enchantment procs stack.
You don't need an add-on to visualize that burst
....
I want to point out that burst is even less important than DPS in a PvE setting.
If you can make the enrage timer, your raid-wide dps doesn't matter. Going for speed is what you do when you farm, not when you initially try to complete it. That route
will
lead to more wipes, which incidentially also means more time wasted. This is from a healers perspective, not a DPS or tank. Being useful in a raid =/= DPS or damage done. This is a common misconception that a lot of damage dealers make.
Burst, however, means practically nothing against raid-bosses. You deal 300k damage against that boss? Too bad the boss has 1,5
billion
hp. You just did less than 0,02% of his hp in damage. Sustain is far more important, unless we are talking very specific bosses here.

Original comment from pvp perspective
From a PvP perspective?
Huh. I have never seen any Death Knight hit that high in PvP. Ever. 180k is the best I've ever seen, and that's on YouTube somewhere. Those who try to burst me down, rarely hit harder than 150k on a crit. Might just have been seeing nothing but noobs.
Besides, if all you care about is ridiculously large hits, roll an Arms warrior. They are only half-decent, but get a lucky streak, and you can easily insta-gib, or global, pretty much
anyone

Simple answer to this whole debate, Currently 2H Frost sims as the highest dps of the 3 DK DPS specs. With our only cd's being Army and Pillar we are well suited to, and balanced for, good sustained dps, but because of the short cd of Pillar, and the large hits of OB, we have excellent burst for situations such as the orbs on Elegon.
2H or DW? 2H does more dps. Deal with it.

play what you prefer
.
Frankly I think it comes more down to: "Play what the loot gods bless you with." I have yet to see ANY one handers in raids this expac but I have the 2H axe from sha off my first normal kill so that's what I use. However having compared 2H and DW in week one of MSV being out (I had both from copius dugeon runs) 2H is ahead by a short margin of maybe 5-6k dps using the same gear.
