Yeah, enhance is playing DW in retail, unless you just want to kill mobs in the open world and tmog, where u can just equip 2h.
I believe Enhancement will get 2h in the next expansion. 
Currently Elemental can play 2h, but it’s recommended to use a 1h and a shield…. Which sucks since I prefer 2h hehe.

Blizz has the mechanical capacity to do so, simply looking at Frost DK shows it is doable. Now that Season of Discovery added this, I would not be surprised if they added such option in the War Within. After all, it was added to SoD as a fan favourite option, it would be both a shame and a wasted opportunity not to include it in retail.
This could actually be a decent way to further differentiate Storm build from Elementalist one:
- Storm build could focus on dual-wielding lightning strikes (pun intended) with Windfury on one of the weapons
- Elementalist build could use a two-hander, forgoing Windfury’s swing speed but gaining larger hits

Don’t hold your breath for that. Giving the option to 2 dps specs that have resources that are not tied to their auto attacks is one thing. Giving it to a spec that has no resources and plays off AA is another. Without a full spec rework, I do not see this happening.
Yeah, just like lock tanking, shaman tanking, mage healing, and so on…
2h for enchance and dual wield for the survival hunters, please.
kthxbye.

SoD gets weekly tuning. You see any of that in Retail yet?
NO?
Whatever they do in SoD should stay in SoD. Dont take it as an inspiration. Simply because, classes are MUCH simpler than in retail.
Take tanks for example:
In SoD its enough to say: This class takes XX% less damage, and generates YY% more agro. DONE. Got a tank.
In retail its different. You need deff CDs of some kind. Shield block, Ironfur, Ignore Pain… Stuff that a DPS warrior (for example) for example does not have. You cant just get a warrior, slap a shield and say they receive 30% less damage and make it a tank. You need special abilities and a talent tree.
And the same way you cant just slap a 2-hander to a shaman and call that a DPS. You need more. And because you need more, its a full Rework right there.
And guess what? I know EXACTLY where this will end up: Same place Frost DKs and Fury Warriors are. One option will be much more OP than the otherone.
Have you seen any 1-handed fury warriors around lately? Why? Because if the WHOLE spec revolves around weapon damage and spamming abilities all the time you cant possibly make 1-handers better than 2-handers with only 1 talent. You need to rework the whole tree to make it work.
So you would get a half-baked 2-hander tree and a half-baked 1-hander tree. Better to ditch 1-handers and have 1 well built, well rounded 2-hander tree in the case of Fury.

Absolutely no thank you.
Every spec that has dual weapon type has been negatively affected by it.
??? Frost DK’s both Duel wielders and 2handers are in top charts of DPS in raids wut are you saying??? its the only spec in game that got the option to play both after being purely duel wielders after WOTLK , other classes/specs have options to use both and are not effected by it at all purerly Tmog choice all stats are same for 2 1handers and 1 2handers in game
