I'm so confused by what is happening in this soul tree.

It's just overall a bad build. If you're going to go DW - 38 points in Paragon or go home.

Your macros - they do work, but they can be improved by moving follow ups to a second button to avoid macro lag.

You should check out 44 paragon/22 champ, it's a very nice build.

Following this guide I was able to double my DPS. I can now do 300 dps and I can almost solo mobs in Ember Isle. Thanks!

You're right, more people trying new things out is good for the community. 44/22 is the definitive parachamp though.

I'm not sure exactly what this build is aimed at doing, I assume PvE DPS.

Just a couple of points you may want to consider changing:
-Overrun is fairly useless since there are almost 0 times when cc is used in a raiding environment and there will be no-one else around to use it more effectively.
-Brutal Punishment doesn't really get you anything since you should always have appropriate Hit for the content you are doing, same goes for Cruel Efficiency
-Battlefield Intimdation, again CC is generally unused in group content, or else provided for free by someone else, same goes for Touch of Tranquility
-Lingering Wounds has limited utility on a very small number of fights and even then should be applied by 51 Champs.
-Perfect Timing is really not that great, especially when you don't have a big hitter like Cornered Beast to force the crits on.
-Death Touch does not affect npcs since they do not have strength or dexterity values, only AP/SP.
-Most bosses cannot be disarmed to Wrist Strike is almost useless.

I HIGHLY recommend putting points into:
-Bend Like The Reed
-Intense Training
-Improved Flowing Strikes
-Path of the Tempest
-Run Like The Wind

^This!
I play almost exculsivly with dual wield, and I have tested many, many builds, and it all seems to come back to 44/22 para champ. I will say I do have a para/void build i use when we are short on healers, and am only behind a bit on dps. The utility of it having the purge and all the extra str is nice though. Not on the game at the moment so i cant tell u what the build is exactly, but like i said its more for utility than dps.

Anywase, if u want to dual wield ur going to need the 44/22 build. Most other builds just seems to fall behind when duel wielding
