I think the augment would need to be automatic (mandatory if using two swords?) and not count against the 1-mundane augment rule, to be attractive. Has the advantage that it is only reliably worth doing at fairly high skill levels. Just using a second weapon as a parrying weapon probably makes more sense as a "virtual" shield provided you have the appropriate fighting style (not entirely accurate, but a simple rule).
