My reasons for dual-weild is quicker access to bigger assortment of alternative weapons. I primarily use a sword in main hand + pyro flame in the off hand and my alt weapon set is a dagger(parrying & fast QCQ/finishing) and a longbow(mainly for sniping). That way I have a good weapon flexibility without the necessity of chaning the loadout on the go. This build lacks blocking but I am not relying on blocking and heavy armour with this build anyway. May not be for everyone for that reason but I found it better suiting for my playstyle, especially in NG+ and up where armour usefulness is lower.
