2-handed vs 1-handed balance?

In my opinion the 2-handed weapons are a tad bit OP, how I expected it was: 2-handed hits a greater area, but is slower, 1-handed is faster, but not good against large groups.

In terms of normal attacks it balances out, but the skills...Well, what you get from that is:
2-handed deals more DPS, even to single targets with it's spin spam.
1-handed deals decent damage with rapid stab spam, but 2-handed seems outweigh it entirely. (Heh.)

Now, everyone's first points they bring up is that 1-handed is faster, and therefore closes up distance faster.
My counter is the Speed Buff skill, that gets rid of the disadvantage.

Now, I don't see many threads about this, and I've only played the Demo which I don't even know if it is up-to-date, so I must be missing something, right?
(In other random news the confirmation email magically worked suddenly when it was broken before, I dunno.)
