Rolled back to my 1H set at least until I get enough Amnesias to get Overpower 5 on my Wakizashi.
I have now tested that DW can be used on PFUDOR arenas, but I have also realized that the efficiency isn't even comparable to 1H+shield style. For example To Kill a God and Eve of Death clear turns for DW is ~4100 and for 1H it is ~3200. The actual clearing speed is even worse for DW because of the cures and extra buffs needed. Armor set is the same for both styles, proficiency is about 35 in favor of 1H and base damage about 820 in favor of DW.
Most of the difference comes from the monster parries, it's like being a mage without counter resist - with the exception that every resist would be 100% and there is no counter-resist bonus for proficiency.
In conclusion I would say that DW was designed with the thought that players should get enough Overpower from IW since there are two weapons, or there are serious issues with balancing of different fighting styles.
Edit: also reached level 350, finally I have armor abilities maxed.
