What are you dual wielding?

With all that different possibilities and combinations of swords, daggers, and rapiers available to us, I would like the hear about what you are dual wielding.
I'm dual wielding in 3 of my 6 builds:
1. Blackwater poison dagger & Blackwater dagger (I have 2 of each, but prefer the regular dagger for its bc)
2. RoL (even though I'm 1 level away from doing so with 100% proficiency)
3. DoSP & Blade of the Defiler

Still early in the game for my new dual-wield character, but I'm going to use 2x Fencing Blade or Flagstone + 1 Fencing Blade while I farm for RoLS. I like that it grants more damage than a dagger and comparable BC to a non-tower shield.
What's up with DW specialization granting additional BC from weapons but S&S spec doesn't do anything for shields/BC at all?

Three nice dual wielding sets Antison! I would love to have 2 RoL on my neutral build so I can split a dual wielding build off him.
I haven't got a dual wielding character yet, my current is weapon + shield. Have quite high DR, BC and crithit and relatively low AC and AD for my level. Not so impressed with the weapon and shield skills... so I might offer 4 more crystals and get 1h sword pro + dual wielding pro.

I'm considering remaking a blackwater poison dagger and barbed dagger, but I'm too lazy to make that build; The first time I tried, I deleted it by the time it got to level 5, to start on a skullcrushing DR build called Golem.
It's hard to build a build with only 1 AD.
But still, the idea behind the dual wield I had should work nicely in theory;
It had a lot of bc and ac, but absolute 0 AD. In theory, that allows it to block every hit while slowly bringing down the enemy with lowhanded poison and wounds... I called it Untouchable, after its theoretical bc stat.

DoSP and Blade of Defiler as well.
I like the health-on-kill of the blade of defiler, with the regen from one of my RoLS I find my consumption of health potions has gone down nicely. Debating on whether I should put a skill point into Regeneration next for even more passive health recovery.

there are so many choices....I started with two RoL, don't even worry about having to use a potion to heal. I will next try the blackwater daggers.
