Problem with Kai is it doesn't last very long ... in any tough battles where I might've wanted it, I was usually casting spells instead.
As for the -2AC, that's a small consolation when you consider that you can't wear elven chain, helmets, bracers, gauntlets or shields - all of which a F/M or B/M could wear without penalty.
The real benefit to the Kensai is the +1 to Thaco and damage for every 3 levels. If you dual at level 12, that's a +4 bonus to both. But even there, a Berserker with the right gauntlets, and berserk, can get +3 to Thaco, +4 to damage, and +1/2 attack/round.
