Viability of combat maces

I expect to hit L80 with my rogue later tonight. I have some weapons stashed away from past holidays... the Direbrew Shanker 2.0 (x2) and the Tankard of Terror... to help me out right as I ding.
The tankard mace has better stats (it is an i226 item compared to the i200 daggers). But is combat maces a viable build for running heroics? Or should I give the mace to my shaman and use a combat sword or combat fist build instead (even if the items are not i226)? I know that I need to find a fast offhand either way for combat spec. I have leveled as combat swords so I am most familiar with that, but I'm not sure how it fares in heroics.
Or is a Mut dagger build more viable for heroics? The dagger is slow, so definitely good for the mainhand. Do I want to use my 2nd shanker in the offhand (slow/slow) or find a fast offhand dagger (slow/fast)? I am less familiar with the way poison procs work in Assassination builds. I have my eye on the Black Knight's Rondel as an eventual upgrade to the dagger (possibly 2 of them if they make good offhands as well).
BTW, my rogue is not my main. I plan to run her for fun in heroics, but I am not going to be a hardcore raider with her. As such, my gear choices are probably limited to badge purchases and H TOC loot drops.
Thx!
