i'm not entirely sure about the dualwielding. it does add quite some damage output, but you cannnot swap armor in combat and you do not get any wisdom AC if you are using robes+shield.

other that dualwielding, what advantage would this have over a str build in plate?

[MightyKhan]

you need at least 30 dex to get SoV working. uni might be an option, but since SoV will eventually get irresistible elec damage equal to your wisdom modifier added, i do not think going strength will severely increase your damage output. your AB is low as is, you need at least 30 dex and 19 wisdom, a decent int for skills and con for HP. getting strength up high enough will be a very difficult task.

also, druids do not get any form of critical hit immunity, so high AC is preferable. the dualwielding is for when you can afford the AC loss and want to quickly dish out some damage
at level 40, she managed 3 attacks on first flurry, which means 7 total: 3 base +2 dual wield +1 haste and another which i do not entirely know where it comes from. i think its SoV, but i thought that only granted additional attacks at CL 45 and CL 55...

while in shield mode, the type of weapon does not matter much, and short sword will obviously outdamage a monk weapon (double weapon type in the future, right?) for dualing, kamas, goads or nunchuks are obviuosly better for a LOT of attacks..
