i was thinking double deaths for the automatic procing of deadly strike and crushing blow, but it would have no damage behind it correct?
Yes, low damage.

then i was thinking double griefs for the raw damage and still 40% deadly strike
It's not 40% it's 20% with each sword.

then i though of one grief and one upped headstriker for the best of both worlds.
when the merc attacks with both weapons, would the damage done by the harder hitting grief be buffed with the headstrikers 100%+ deadly strike?
No, same as before, each weapon DS does not affect the other.

lastly, the bard merc can only dual wield one handed swords, so which base would be best for his griefs and or deaths
You have to check ias, but i would say phase blades for fast attack.
