I Think that's technically better than a 1h, although I'd need a CTRL+ screenshot for comparison, because It doesn't seem to be factoring in the almost double damage increase thanks to the +Arcane. Think about it. Your range isn't 1170-1408 its actually 2055-2475 which averages about 2265 DPS. This is all speculation of course , if that's how the weapons handle damage which is how I assumed they worked. Could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time, although I see no reason why this isn't how it works.
i got one and it was still on the low end only around 1200 and tried to craft a legendary 2 hander and it put out around 1300 dps, bummer, as i'm looking to actually use some 2 handers for once.
The top range should be 1111. Sometimes you'd get well below that, in other words, 1hand damage affix. I had never even got this bug myself.
No, it doesn't make DPS massive, but it doesn't need to because 2handers function differently, and are still better in certain situations for various reasons.
Blizzard has created this problem themselves however with their sheet damage stat and the largest stat on weapons being it's DPS. Even if you could reason that taking a 2h would be better for you build, no one is going to do it, because it just feels better to take something where the game tells you in bright green happy numbers it's without a doubt better. There's also the issue that resource generation favors fast weapons.

Gratz on that. A bit far from the 1500 like in 1.08, and not a lot higher than 1h-ers, but it's certainly a progress... from 300 dps 2.0 Skorns.
The bug fix he was referring to was this: http://i.imgur.com/B6ox8FI.png
