Also, if two weapon attack is anything like the other ranger multi-attacks (I've looked at the ranged multi attack stuff) it goes from 1[w]+dex (str for melee probably) to 2 1[w] attacks with no modifier. So while you are getting 'more attacks' you are not getting more of your base attacks.
If that is the case then think of a d8 damage long sword in each hand as:
1D8 + 1d8 (if both hit) = Average of 9pts
vs
1D8 + 3 (assuming a +3 stat bonus) = Average of 7.5pts.
I look at the twin attack abilities as a way to hedge your bet and most likely get SOME damage instead of trying to get a higher amount of damage with a lesser possibility to hit.
