Druid Duel Wielding

Ok so heres the issue druids can use fist weapons but are not allowed to duel wield fist weapons. Now I can see where people are going to take this why should druids be allowed to Duel Wield well I think they can be balanced just like rogues with a little tweaking. A druids Agility staff more times then none offers more agility then 2 1h weapons but at lower levels when there are really no staffs and very few weapons with agility I find myself using weapons I shouldnt as a feral druid. Some may say well if you give druids duel wielding it will increase there attack speed in feral not if done correctly. I think this is somthing that should be looked at carefully mind you im not really a technical person when it comes to the game but i do know my way around each class.
Feral druids scale with attack power and the actual dps stat of an item (it is the part under weapon range that says x damage per second). The actual speed of the weapon does not matter since all feral attacks are normalized by form before haste (cat get 1.0, bear get 2.5). So essentially, feral druids should never use anything but staves, polearms, and the occasional 2 handed mace with agility.

Also with the consolidation of loot in cataclysm, blizzard wants all specs to be equipped a certain way in order to be optimal (hunters do not dual wield, rogues have fast dagger off hand).
Can feral druids have two fist weapons?
Nope, working the talents to support it would make a mess. Monk tanks will use staff or polearm.
