Being required to find two weapons to be effective for everyone else's one is something that SE has said they wanted to avoid. That's not to say we couldn't get another class that uses two weapons at once, but unless SE changes their mind you would only ever equip one weapon that comes as a set like Monk, Rogue, and Ninja arms.
Would just like to point out that Paladin already needs to get two weapons to be effective. They use their shield for attacks so it is classified as a weapon in my book. They could come up with a way for it to be balanced. I have a few rough ideas that I came up with in the 30 seconds since I read your post. Given a few weeks, a game developer could come up with a pretty good system.
