Dual-wielding in Skyrim is... interesting. You can swing both hands individually (but not at the same time), or swing both hands together in a dual-attack.

The dual-attack can't be used while moving, but otherwise seems the premier way to deal damage with two weapons.

Then there's the dual *power* attack, which just completely wrecks #@$\* up, but this requires stamina, so its not always an option.

Am I missing something here? Is there ever any reason where I *wouldn't* want to use the dual-strike? Is there some bonus to the regular swings when dual-wielding?
