Pretty much every Filopino style that I am familiar with teaches it at one point or another. Some just emphasize it a good bit more. Kali (specifically Kali-Silat as I took it) is very blade-centric, and thus everything is done with blades in mind. When two weapon is taught, you are expected to strike with the same surface of the stick every time, ie where the edge would be on a blade. Escrima teaches two-weapon fairly early, I hear, though it seemed more stick-centric. Arnis de Mano seemed to concetrate more heavily on one-weapon and attacks from long-range, as opposed to Escrima at medium-range, and Kali at short/trapping range.
Given what you are looking for, I would suggest some Escrima. Your experience with it may be different than mine, but I found the escrima practioners to be more flashy than us Kali guys. Kali is not a pretty art, rather brutal in fact, and not pleasant to watch, espceially if you understand what the moves are intended to do/target. I did not take escrima though, and there are many different sub-styles. It is a direction for you to research though.
