I want to play an ORC, what is the best route for me to get the most out of Dual Wield. I know that the Orc classes do not get any bonuses for Dual Wielding so would it even be worth it to try this?
I am hearing horror stories about how Gladiators are not the best class but they are one of the only 2 classes that get Dual Wield bonuses. (is this correct?) And I do not want to be a Dark Elf so I don't want to create a Blade Dancer.
An Orc Fighter > Monk > Tyrant is all about Dual Fist weapons (Less crit rate but more Accuracy). Check out The Library on Races and see their skills.
if you want to use dual swords and dont want to play BD than yes, gladiator is pretty much the only class for you. you could also look into playing a support class like EE becasue they dont have any penalties to using dual swords (this is true as of C5, but in C6, who knows). if you equip an orc fighter with dual swords you are gimping it.
and mysttics can vield any wearpons. And mele wearpon is a walid way for them in pve. And considering that orc mystics got betst mele capabilities of all mystics it will be good.
