The initial perks work with 2h/1h weapons but most of the perks after that require a shield. BTW, just increasing your block skill by itself will also help you deflect more damage from attacks (non magical). So, increasing block isn't entirely useless for a 2h user but it shouldn't supercede anything else in your build if you're going for pure melee type.
If you plan on playing master difficulty you would be better served paying the most attention to 2h/heavy armor/smithing while not trying to gain points in many other skills if you can help it.
