AGI no longer provides AP for Death Knights.
Yeah, you might as well just use a 333 strength one hander before a 359 agility one-hander.

If the cost is really that much of an issue you'd be better off buying neither of the weapons and only getting the upgrades elsewhere.
Edit: You can also just farm BoT trash for the sword.

It never provided AP for DKs.

Heroic strength weapons will be far superior to raid-agility weapons, but yeah, if you have to buy one then Soul Blade.
I wouldn't rule BoT trash farms out of the question though, it only requires the gear/skill and CC of a Heroic group.

Yes it did, for the entirety of their existence up until Cata. However, instead of 2 AP/point it was 1 AP/point.

No, it did not. The only way we got AP from those items was from the raw AP that was on the items as a 4th stat and through Bladed Armor, but only if BA was pushed to a new, whole integer threshold that was a multiple of 180.
Agi through until 4.0.1 patch gave 1 AP to Hunters and Rogues (Hunters used to derive two RAP, then got nerfed to 1 RAP, now they're 2 again) and Feral Druids. No one else got AP from it.
From WoWWiki's section on WotLK for Agi:
Warriors, hunters and rogues gain 1 ranged attack power for each point of agility.
Hunters, rogues, shamans (as of 3.0.2) and druids in Cat Form gain 1 melee attack power per point of agility.
From WoWPedia:
Increases attack power with ranged weapons (not including wands) or melee weapons for certain classes.
Warriors and rogues gain 1 ranged attack power for each point of agility.
Hunters gain 2 ranged attack power for each point of agility.
Rogues, shamans and druids in and gain 2 melee attack power per point of agility.
Hunters gain 1 melee attack power per point of agility.
Increases chance to score a critical hit with a weapon.
Increases chance to attacks. This is dependent on both class and level.
In short, we NEVER got raw AP from Agi.

The price difference is considerable (for me) its about 10k difference. I really don't have anywhere else to get an upgrade elsewhere as I don't raid.
You do have plenty of options. Just do heroic 5mans. It's not that hard and the ilvl 346 str weapon will be
far
better than an ilvl 359 agility one. And the best thing is it's free :D
Buying either of the epic on the AH is a complete waste of money. Don't do it. If you really want to burn your money then make sure to burn it on the str swort, the agil axe is utterly worthless (since heroic 5mans drops are already better and those are really easy to get).

Get a pair of these
Cookie's Tenderizer
, due to 0.2 slower speed than everything else they are almost better than soul blades. They got ideal stats as well.
quoted for truth. Coockie's Tenderizer is amazing, just get two of those babies and you will be good. No need to get the soul blades from the AH, and definately do not spend your gold for an agi weapon.
