I'm gonna go ahead and say shields make for better two weapon fighting than two normal weapons.

Why? because blood soaked charger is awesome. Do something like fighter 2/Crusader 18 with maybe replacing some levels in crusader with warblade to pick up the save maneuvers. Take shield specialization, agile shield fighter and the blood soaked charger line, then go about picking up shield ward, commetary collision and some of the other defensive feats or charging feats, depending on what you want to do, and you'll have yourself a pretty damn solid character. Those two levels of fighter are, of course, for dungeon crasher.
