Don't peg yourself into 2 x 1 handers though, because the cost is higher for 1 handed weapons (and then you need to buy 2!). Using a single 1 hander and a good quiver is good, especially is you can get + max disc on both, but when you are buying compare 2 handers as well. I wouldn't be suprised if you got an extra 100+ dps for the same cost just by switching to 2 handed weapons for a while.

edit: Right now I have some weapons that might be good for someone who just hit 60 and can't afford any real good upgrades or someone who has yet to hit 50.
494 dps 2hbow with level reduction 5 - level 55 to use)

432 dps 1hxbow, 71 dex, 283 life on hit, +45 crit damage

160 dps izzucob (legendary 1 hand bow) - Level 56 to use 48dex,40vit,5ias,+8max disc - Obviously the 2hbow is better but this one is legendary so I can't bring myself to salvage it without seeing

731 dps 1 hxbow - 120 vit. - level 60

730 dps 2hxbow - 2.5% life gain - level 60

I won't post any of them to AH right now, if someone wants one (or will need one in the near future) contact me in game - Rathji#1666 - and they are yours for no charget, but if you want to toss me some crafting materials in return it would be nice, especially for the legendary one!

Also have:
a couple quivers as well 14/15% ias, with some dex, vit, +max disc, %life, hatred regen,sockets
couple pairs of +12 movememnt boots with good dex, some with + AR, some with + vit
few shoulders with +dex, + vit, some with +AR
few amulets and rings +dex/vit, some + crit damage, some +AR
2h mace, lvl 60, 997 dps +110 vit

I am looking for a good bow upgrade (don't care what kind, but preference is 1hxbow -> 2hbow -> 2hxbow). Right now I have 817 dps, with 174 dex, 54 vit + socket. If someone comes across one, let me know.
Thanks for the input (Rathji and everyone else).

I went for dual wield solely because the DH looks more badass with 2H crosbows (and high heel boots) Speaking of boots, I went shopping last night and picked up a rare pair on AH with 12% movement speed, 108 Dex and some magic find on top of that, for a cool 2500 gold.

That 432 dps 1hxbow with Crit damage does look nice thought. I didn't buy any weapons yet, still pondering the next step, farming Hell for now.
