Concerning dual daggers: it's no doubt more difficult than a single dagger, but it isn't a herculian task.

Using a dagger to parry (and unexpected attacks) was such a good tactic that Europe went ape over it, and even ended up making the main gauche (along with more unconventional parrying daggers or even a smaller sword) to better fill the role. It was wide-spread to such a degree that the users probably didn't all have insane natural talents.

Depending on setting, available arms, and expected opposition, "dual wielding" CAN be, if not OP, then very much a viable technique.
