There was a recent discussion on this exact topic on the fly fishing forum; lots of good responses there.
In short, I always fish 2 offerings (unless I'm throwing streamers) and I find it much more productive than 1.
I would also say not to disregard using an attractor offering on a rig. There have been a number of times 2 natural offerings wouldn't produce much for me, but using a attractor + natural brought numerous fish to the net. It's not a silver bullet, but certainly an option to carry in your toolbox.
