So, it seems to me that the reason two-handed weapons win out over two-weapon fighting is that two handed weapons get double damage from power attack, which seems to be the main way to deal damage (excluding sneak attack and other precision damage).
However, there is a class called the revenant blade in the Player's Guide to Eberron. In addition to giving you specific bonus feats that you can change everyday with meditation, the capstone ability is the ability to treat both ends of the double scimitar as a two handed weapon for the purpose of power attack and adding 1.5 str to regular damage. Ignoring fluff restrictions, such as required race and being specific to the double scimitar, is this the answer to a non-sneak attacking two-weapon fighter? Or is there something that I'm missing?
EDIT: Realized this would be ineffective for any play below 10th level. Therefore ignore these levels in your analysis, please.
