Well V2 ensures that, if you are N-1, the Aircraft will achieve the minimum climb gradient upon which the performance calculations are based.

Vmca just denotes the minimum speed at which the rudder, in combination with 5 degrees of bank, has sufficient power to counter any yawing moment produced by an engine failure whilst airborne.
