Oh, here's an idea for Dual Blades that won't make them so freaking overpowered with double weapon potential.
Have they're damage range split into two rows (I suggested this for Mechs in the Pirate thread also), and give the top row to Daggers and the second row to Kataras. The top row will be affected by pretty much everything but the katara, and all attack boosts will be applied to that row. The second row will only use the Katara's attack and potential, with a damage formula of
[1.2 * (4 * LUK + STR + DEX) * (Katara ATT / 100)]. All attacks that hit multiple times will alternate from one row to the other, and all potential from the dagger and katara will affect their corresponding damage ranges, but the Katara's damage range won't be affected by any attack bonuses other than those stemming from the katara itself. Potential and stat bonuses from armor will affect both ranges.
