Can a Titan Mauler(2)/Two-handed Fighter(7) apply the benefits of Backswing when dual-wielding greatswords thanks to Jotungrip?
At 7th level, when a two-handed fighter makes a full-attack with a two-handed weapon, he adds double his Strength bonus on damage rolls for all attacks after the first.
A Titan Mauler 2/ Two-weapon warrior fighter 11 can dual-wield two handed weapons -2/-2. If you're into that kind of thing. And why wouldn't you be? It's awesome.
RAW, yes. RAI, probably not. Really, it boils down to GM ruling.
That's what I am leaning towards. I think at most it would only give bonuses on weapons that have already been used this round. That way, the "backswing" aspect actually makes sense.
The weapon must be appropriately sized for her, and it is treated as one-handed when determining the effect of Power Attack, Strength bonus to damage, and the like.
In my opinion, Backswing falls within the "and the like", or even the specific the "Strength bonus to damage". As such, RAW is against it.

Good catch. I think the part where it says "treated as one-handed" pretty much kills it.

Good catch. I'm not very familiar with Titan Mauler, and assumed it worked like wielding a lance one-handed while mounted.
