If you can get an attack off with both while sneaking you get the damage multiplier with both. However, It's not a big deal if you have all the right gear and enchantments, you'll 1-shot things with only one dagger

Ok I answer several questions. I don't know if there is a bonus having two daggers equipped but I do for 2 reasons one is that I have left dagger enchanted with soul trap on right hand blade of woe. Now another reason is I have habit to switch to dual swords if I get detected and than fight head on. Now the thing is if I notice opponents are easier to kill I don't switch to dual sword.
Killing in sneak mode... I just click once for attack (almost every-time is cut-scene)... no need for power attacking because it's a waste of stamina (One advice if you are use dual wielding... only use light weapons, like glass, elven... because you will burn more stamina).
I used it only once when I trained one hand on my Shadowmere. I had two Iron daggers and just for curiosity I did power attack to see how much damage I'll do to him... result... I killed him, so I need it to reload the save.
When it comes to bows I use it for taking down archers, enemy's who are out of reach or for clearing area to have less enemy's to kill in melee.

unworthy of the db he says. im not gonna join them till they stop sending assassins after me. i keep all the letters on me and i have 5 so far. im still trying to make a name for myself till they invite me.
i think it should affect any 1h weapon i could be wrong. but my current character is the first to use daggers at all he started with 2 iron daggers but upgraded to glass and the blade sword.after he got tired of running from a fight after messing up and being spotted.

"Armsman" affects all one-hand weapons. The "Blademaster"(Or some other such title) that is on the second tier of the 1h perk tree only affects swords.
A few things I tested recently.
Power Attack damage is accounted for when doing sneak attacks.
Savagery(dual wield power attack perk) only works if you have a weapon in both hands, but you don't have to execute a power attack with both hands to get the bonus. This increases the potential damage you can do from a backstab/sneak attack.
Armsman perk does increase dagger damage. However, the increase 1-hand damage by % enchant does not affect daggers.
This is probably all on some wiki somewhere, but I haven't checked yet...

bows are a great complement to daggers or vise versa. and you dont need to invest in 1h very heavily at all so you can use those points on sneak archery and light armor. and if you play around with throw voice then you can clear anything fairly effectively. without giving away your position. i use my bow as my primary weapon and my dagger/sword as a weapon of oppertunity. i still love watching me slit a guys throat
