The "light weapons" rule needs the pc to have a good DEX while the "two weapon" rule needs the pc having both STR (for attack bonus) and DEX (for penalty reduction). When combined you need only a good Dex and double dip on it.

If you feel the numbers are high you can remove the DEX bonus lessening the penalty, or rule that such combat style requires both STR and DEX.

If the 1st option is used your attack bonus would end up: +4/+1
