In the current version, this is no longer the case.  Was this change intentional or is it a bug?  It seems to me that it should work, since double weapons count as wielding two weapons for the purposes of feats like Two-Weapon Defense, so why shouldn't it count as wielding two implements for Dual Implement Spellcaster?  Double weapons are treated as two separate items in all other cases, why make an exception here?

This does not increase the frequency of use of any power possessed by the item; if you wield a double weapon with a daily power you can still only activate that power once per day." In particular, this means your +3 pact blade can be used to deal 3 damage to cursed enemies for each end, or 6 in total, where it used to be just 3.
