Well, you've probably got two culprits;
1) You've added a large number of external patches and other
(zones, etc) additions who's internal (code) functionality and
reprecussions you do not understand. As a general rule, only patch
something in if you could have written it yourself, or if you plan on
going through it line by line to understand what it's doing.
2) You said it yourself, the dual wield was just 'added'. I'm
surprised you're not digging in the code already. There's probably a set
of circumstances which cause it (the dual wield) to interfere with your
attack functions being triggered. Find it, and fix it.
