Im a long time TG fan and love the use of the 2 handers in both hands and I've never really used SMF, however I have scimitar of seven stars and kilrak jaws of terror both 483 one handers. I also have the 483 2 hander from terrace and star shatter 476 from elegon. I've noticed a large difference in HP between the 2 sets. The DPS is also a lot higher on the character screen with the 2 handers. Does the character screen take into consideration the 35% damage bump for SMF. Which should I go for and why. Thank you for the help.

Dps on the character screen is only your autoattack damage...
And is a function of your weapon dps and your attack power. It doesnt take into consideration anything else. No talents, passive or active skills, crits, misses, dodges, parries, blocks, glancing blows, proc/on use abilities and items etc.
In other words its completely nonsense value that serves no real purpouse other than confusing newbies.
Only way of measuring the actual dps is equipping proper gear/skill setup and attacking the dummy with proper "rotation" (priority) for a while (or a simulating it using a
simulation tool
).
To help you decide we need to know your other gear (armory link).

As this is my first post I actually put up and not a reply I'm still figuring out the link system to the armory. My fury warrior is grothmaul and he's on my profile on this site. If I can figure out how to link to the armory I will. When I tried it wouldn't post for some reason.

fyi, hit and expertise caps are only 7.5% each now.
i noticed you are over on both, and even sacrificing some crit for addtional hit (via gem choices).

ueah I do have a little tweaking to do but my conundrum stays the same. When both 2 handers are equiped my str and stam jump way higher. Especially my stamina. With the 2 handers im at 410k hp. with the 1 handers im at 386k. I never really suffer too bad during raids because I know when to pop defensive cooldowns, so do the extra HP matter.

Twohander offer more stats, but its balanced out with Single minded fury. These two specs are quite close atm and its a matter of preference. Stamina adds zero dps.
As for tweaking:
- you miss two enchants worth of 360 STR.
-you match some sockets that give you undesired stats (offhand)
-you got stamina gem in your chest
-overcapped both exp and hit as someone already mentioned (i advise reforge lite)

SMF>TG anyday. Im pushing 45k-50k in mid 460s gear with SMF, but with TG its around 30k-40k. This is with 2 blues (Dubious Axe from Sha in ToJS).

Not according to simulations. Its just your personal experience.

The char link didnt work so I couldnt see what race you are. If you are Orc you dont need to get so much exp in your gear couse orx get 3% more exp while wearing an axe so you can reforge exp to something els. Dwarves have same thing with maces an humans with swords and maces.
Edit:
Well i found the way to see your char and I see you are an orc so you should wear axes and reforge the over going exp to something els.

Just a quick note; weapon bonuses only give 1% now, not 3%. And before that, it was 3 expertise, not 3%.
