Nothing 100% official but a good idea on how the perks work. They seem to increase the level that the spells work on by a fixed amount, some display the effectivenes in the tooltip. Dual-casting doubles it for the most part. For the most part using the higher tiers (apprentice/adept/expert) are the way to go.
HOWEVER master tier versions DO NOT gain the dual-cast bonus, while the expert versions do. To see what I mean, fully perked and dual-casted expert tier spells will work on NPCs like general Tullius and his epic-tier entourage, but the master tier versions wont.
