go to favorites or inventory screen. go to spell, (i'm on PS3, next part may be different for you) and then hit L1 for left hand, and R1 for right hand. you'll get a little arrow with a small 'L' and 'R' next to spell.

clicking a weapon or spell with one mouse button assigns it to that mouse button on PC, so just click the same spell with your left and right mouse button. (not at the same time, obviously).

If you're doing it via hotkeys, just press the same hotkey twice.

On the PC, open the favorites menu and click your mouse, both buttons and you see a small lr indicating left/right. What I found to work better is once you have assigned a number to that spell, lets say number 2, I just hit 2 twice and the spell goes dual-wield. A way to check it look at your hands while doing it. A flame/fire spell should put small flames on your hands, a lightning spell will put white looking color on your hands. When you want to fire both spells, push both mouse buttons.

GOod luck.

Oh, you need the dual-wield perk points, too.

You really don't, those are only necessary if you want to actually dualcast the spell, wielding the same spell in both hands always works.

Unless it's a master level spell, which you shouldn't be using anyway.

Meh, you're not going to use master spells all the time, but they are fun to bust out now and then.

With dual casting, you have to hit both triggers (keys, etc) at exactly the same time, and you'll see the difference onscreen.
