Not true. In fact, it's easier to DWA with two cool big identical weapons, because you only need one weapon skill, DWA [5], and OHWT [1] for a total of 6 points, as the OP stated.

Not true! Dual-Weapon Attack specifically allows two attacks
without the need for an All-Out Attack. You certainly do still get active defenses.

Shield also gives you DB against muscle-powered ranged attacks.
Shield grants cover.

Agreed. A Shield is usually cheaper in both $ and CP, and it improves your defenses, which is usually more important than having better/more attacks (not dying is usually a higher priority than killing the other guy).
