I think this has always been THE biggest issue for rogues. What kind of weapons should i use...fist, mace, sword, daggers? It's a big issue because it determines your play style, your pve rotations, your pvp approach, and your raid damage. I dont wanna go into all the details (although i will if you're really interested). I just want to make a statement about weapons in general...assuming same gear and same dps on weapons (90 dps dagger vs. 90 dps sword for example).
As of the latest patch (2.1.2 i think)... for PVE: sword>daggers>fists>any mace spec ...and yes swords do more damage in pve
for PVP: mace>fist>sword>daggers
at this point, most rogues are probably thinking, "wow, do daggers really suck?"...yes, yes they do suck. dont believe me? try beating a warrior of pally w/ daggers. now everyone go vendor trash your daggers and get some swords!
i understand everyone has a different play style. im not telling anyone how to play. in fact, shadow step was one of the most fun specs to play, but there's a difference between fun and viable. if u wanna stay daggers, do it! just dont get mad when blo does more dps than you or when u cant kill a warrior.

When you say daggers I'm assuming you mean combat because in pvp mutilate is fairly kickass and I continue to hear of mutilate rogues destroying damage meters. I lol at them but I suppose its something to consider..so fixing your pvp chart
