The "recharge" from the sword lunge is you bringing the word down from the slice. Don't see how having two swords would change that at all, you still need to lower your swords.
But while bringing one sword down, you can lunge with the other
Not the same thing. When dual wielding close ranged weapons, power drops by 25% and things get less accurate, and you can't use grenades (though with two 75% weapons you get roughly 150% power that is inaccurate and therefore hard to be efficient with it and the loss of grenades is major.) By single wielding, you aren't neccesarily as powerful, but you are more accurate, making you more efficient, and you can use grenades. That is balanced.
You can't take off 25% from a weapon that kills with one hit however, there no accuracy involved, so you have a situation where there is no pros but cons. Even with making the cooldown between lunges the same as single wielding's melee, there isn't anything big enough that the single wielder has other than grenades to balance this out.
If they both can achieve the same speed that much is balanced. The other variable is the fact that one person has a longer range and the other has grenades. If the one blocks the person with the longer range, then they're on even grounds and we'll get the same sword fights we get at the moment. The difference is that the one with grenades can take out the other before they even get close Assuming they have two frags or one sticky and are spot one with they're aim. It could be balanced.
Also, does someone else want to take this side of the argument. I'm only doing it because no one else will. I would be just as quick to join the other side. I actually don't really care if you can dual wield or not, I'm in it for the debate
