I've heard people talk about it, so I assume it's working. But I'm pretty sure you can only be a marauder and dual wield medium weapons. The manual indicates that lords can do it, too, but they can't.

If it works, I never found a medium weapon which could be equipped even after reaching Deathlord.
Also, magical weapons have no effect in the off-hand!

Precisely. So, Do not waste your XP on this skill - it doesn't work;
However, there is quite a number of fine light swods...

If you can't use medium weapons in your off hand, does that mean there's no difference between dual wielding for marauders and deathlords?

Unfortunately: Yes
Of course no one knows what Patch 1.2 will bring

Actually... dont even bother with it....
Dual Light weapons works... and if you wield a medium weapon in your Main hand... ta da.... still works... so since youll never get a medium weapon in your off hand.... dont bother....

Ya, the rusty axe is the only medium weapon my deathlord could equip. I tried a ton of different combos too.
On the flip side. My Samurai was able to equip a medium katana in her main hand and a light weapon in off hand. Go figure.

My Marauder Deathlord used the combination Burning Crystal Greatsword (Heavy Weapon!) and Kriss Blade of Darkness (Light Weapon) to a deadly effect.
Strange is that some heavy weapons can be dual-wielded in the main hand whereas other (like the Blade of Death) can't.

Also I've never found any reason to increase those skills past 1 single point, as it seems there aren't any penalties associated with off-hand weapons (it's only linked to the primary skills), and at level 5 they don't give any additional combo.
