And, because you are not defending there is no modification on number of dice rolled vs. you for being a weapon expert. It should be EITHER you select the Defend action and folks roll on 5d with a -1 but no armor points, OR you effectively choose the Attack action but use it to double parry, and people roll on 3d with a -1 to hit but you get 4 points of armor.
Unless I completely misread it, the new ITL has added an extra die to hit anyone with Two Weapons taking option (c), the double parry.

P41 ITL: "(c) parry with both weapons, adding an extra die to attempts to hit you and stopping 4 points of damage"

That is a change from the old ITL, which is what tripped me up.
