I can see three possiblities here:
1) Dual Clubs - this could use the suggested stick models
2) Staff - While it is a single weapon, it is used two handed. So it would be the two handed version of Mace, the other Smashing Weapon set.
3) Nunchucks/Flail - While it's likely this would be limited by the animations to chain weapons, I suppose with some creativity the animations could cover dual sticks. With a bit of suspension of disbelief, the set could even be a staff that breaks apart and detaches for different attacks. A Ball and Chain might be another possiblity, as a weapon option with a ball on the other end instead of the second handle. (Which would prevent switching hands with the weapon, but this might be preferable due to animation restructions)
Obviously, the list above is in order of difficulty of animation. Two staves would be easier than one staff because, as mentioned, it is a single weapon wielded in two hands. It's already been stated how difficult this is. So honestly, the Dual Clubs idea is probably the most likely to show up.
Also, I would not be opposed to axe models in Dual Blades (after all, it is called Blades, not Swords) but for the animation perhaps the axes could be a fantasy type with an elongated and sharpened tip.
And hey, why DON'T we have Dual Spades?
People crying "Think of the children" always target the most fun or easy targets, and miss dozens of things that might actually harm their sensitivities. That's why they deserve no regard.
