5professions come to mind for Dual weapon usage - Jedi, TKA, Swordsman, Fencer and Pistoleer. TKA and Pistoleer are the most obvious, as they both always have a free hand.
Seeing a LOT of people talk about this probablity - But there are inherent issues. First off, Sword and Fencers.. In "real life" instances of dual usage, teh main weapon is for attack, the 2nd, while used sparsely for attack is more for defense. So, these professions would receive a minor increase to damage, but a decent increase to defense. Most players *I assume* would prefer just an attack bonus, but it wouldn't make sense.
Second, Pistoleer. Yes, a 2nd weapon would increase damage.. But, accuracy with the 2nd weapon would be diminished if we follow the notion that your "off" hand is weaker than your usage hand.
Third, TKA would have the obvious advantage of receiving a second weapon, and in game terms, what with people thinking us over-powered already.. You see my point. However, teh 2nd equipped VK would have to receive a DECREASE in damage, as the secondary hand again is not as strong as the usage hand.
Finally, Jedi. What can I say? The films show Jedi with 2 sabers. As with Sword/Fencer, I'd have to assume there would be a drastic increase in defense, and in the case of a saber, an increase in attack as well. Dual weapons in combat for Jedi would make an Immense difference in PvP against a non-Jedi, and would definitely increase the options in Jedi vs Jedi battle - IE, how to defend against 2 sabers while using one, etc.

I dont think they'll make Fencer a dual wield prof neither Swordsman and Pikeman since Fencers are one-handed, then 2handed and pikeman uses 2 hands to wield their weapons But I'm guessing that brawler will have a new prof that uses dual wield 
Kinda like a hybrid prof Like BH
