Question about weapons

I was recently introduced to a problem by a guildmate of mine.
I was asked why I wasn't using the PvP main-hand and off-hand as my weapons instead of using my PvE weapons.
For PvE I am currently using
Meteor Shard
and
Throat Slasher
.
The PvP daggers I could use are
Vicious Gladiator's Shiv
and
Vicious Gladiator's Shanker
.
The reason for using them would be that their weapon DPS is higher than the others, and when looking for weapons that is the single greatest stat out there.
I know the choice seems obvious, but should I use the PvP weapons? Or stick with the PvE ones?
EDIT: To preempt some responses, I know using
Meteor Shard
is pretty much the worst heroic main-hand I could pick, but it's the only one that's dropped for me.

Mutilate's most damage comes from its poisons, so melee damage itself is less important than melee weapon speed.
Though with these examples, it seems that the pvp ones would be better.
Your pve mh has no extra stat (making the pvp one actually the obvious choice and which also gives you crit that you can reforge into mastery).
Your pve oh could be better if the hit on it is well used (nothing too much above spell cap) and reforging the crit into mastery. Though im not sure how the dps actually would relate to this.
Mutilate barely takes damage account from its offhand, the speed for poisons is more important. So you should take the one that seems to offer you to best stats.

In this case i'd say that replacing Meteor Shard for the VG shanker since the proc just Sucks(but looks so awesome...) so it wold be a DPS increase. If you are Hit capped already, It would be useful to switch the Throat slasher for the VG Shiv.

just farm tol barad dailies for main hand.
and even if PvP daggers have 60 more dps, they have a total of 194 useless resilience and 194 crit which should be reforged. ilvl is not all.
if you can put your hands on 372(?) weapons, maybe it's an upgrade. but i'd stay with the blue ones (i'm raiding with them and doing a respectable amount of dps, also have green thrown #$%^ YOU HOO AND YOUR #$%^ING BOSS)

The epic pvp weapons are a slight upgrade to the heroic blues, and ridiculously easy to get.
Also,
(i'm raiding with them and doing a respectable amount of dps, also have green thrown #$%^ YOU HOO AND YOUR #$%^ING BOSS)
True that. $%^& HoO. That #$%^hole took 30 runs to get everything out of. Bracers last. @#$%.
