Well, and it's something that Ghostcrawler has said is going bye-bye, very, very soon. They don't want us using Caster weps in Enhance. (Even though they want us to be melee...
casters?
O.o
)

I've been using FT/FT for leveling since about 75, and it has been very nice all the way up (now 83). Shamans do so much of their damage from elemental sources that count in spell power, and Flametongue weapon gives extra spell power on top of the extra crit% from the glyph.
That spellpower from dual-FT doesn't stack, however, from what I've seen. So what you're getting is a single spellpower boost... and a bit more randomly-added fire damage on the other weapon. (I have no idea if UE gives any double-boost to Flameshock) You might actually get better benefits from going with Frostbrand (much more randomly-added damage) with your FT, if you don't like Windfury.
Windfury, though, has something like a 33% uptime, if you don't count its 3 sec cooldown after each WF proc, according to the eggheads at EJ. That's a huge boost to Attack Power. And, our Spell Power is largely based off our Attack Power (SP = 1/2 AP, via Mental Quickness), so I'm assuming that a WF proc boosts your SP as well.

Without going into arbitrary details, I found in testing that WF/FT with a melee MH/melee OH is roughly 200-300 dps higher than FT/FT with caster MH/melee OH. All weap speeds were around 2.60. I know, I was disappointed too.
I've found in testing (previous this most late hotfix) that my DPS was ~500-1000dps higher with Caster/Melee FT/FT than with Melee/Melee WF/FT. Note that you need a 2.3speed Caster weapon, OR a raid 1.8speed caster weapon, as the spell damage increase from the weapon makes up for the decrease in speed.
I thought they nerfed all the caster weapon dps to 45 dps in order to prevent this?
