Is it me, or does 2H suck now?

I just got a Maul of the Spriggan, and Battleaxe of the Red Mountain to go with my 2 piece sets.  IK, not optimal.  The Spriggans’ maul has a Crusher enchant, which means it’s basically only suitable for beating down Bosses (Which have that kind of Armor to begin with) but training up to the Ultimace, I just replaced my DW bar, and Uppercut just doesn’t stand up to Rapid Strikes, at all, with Critical Surge and Momentum stacked up on top of it.  To be fair, I’ve got 2 pieces each of Spriggans and Red Mountain, would be nice to have a full suit of TBS and Draugr Hulk, but I don’t have that.  Regardless, the comparison is reasonably comperable, only it’s not comperable at all.  Even with Wrecking Blow to weave Carve/tapattacks with, it’s just not competing with DW in any way shape or form.  AoE (With Quick Cloak/Whirling Blades, which are Not the highest damage Morphs.) Execute is still on point for single target, but it’s not even keeping up with my Bow, which is V30/blue as opposed to V60/Green.  (I believe that’s higher, right?)  So what gives, did 2H just get a major nerf?  I’m outperforming it with my Tank Puncture weaving, and it’s a TANK!

[edit]Okay, Wrecking Blow>Executioner is still the best Backstab combo in the game.  Dead as a doornail, kinda fun running around Anvil collecting Sithis’ rings, but still.  You can’t backstab everything, and I shouldn’t need 2 buffs just to fight with it when I can poke anything to death just spamming Rapid Strikes.
