So the weapons I was using are
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=47300
with a berserking enchant and
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=49682
with 26 to agility enchant
Recently I picked up
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=50319
and put a Titanium weapon chain on it temporarily to make up for some hit that was lost.
The spec I am using is the standard 51/18/2.
I made sure that I was still hit capped for poisons when I equipped the Ice razor in the OH. But when I tested it on the dummy I was nearly 500DPS lower than with the 1.8 weapons equipped. Everything I know and have read tells me that the Ice Razor is the better weapon to have equipped in the OH because of the more frequent IP procs. However, recount does not lie, I was consistently hitting higher DPS with the 2 slower weapons equipped. Can anyone help me explain this and reinforce my thoughts that I do want a 1.4 dagger in my OH?

PEBKAC, most likely. Did you put instant poison on the faster weapon in the OH? Because that would be incredibly stupid. And a dps loss.

I thought as of 3.3 patch we wanted instant on fast dagger in OH
What kind of logic would lead to that conclusion?

I was thinking DP on main hand that way it stacks with your hit and your special attacks and it would prob hit 5 quick. Then IP on OH hand fast cause it will proc faster once DP is stacked.
Mutilate attacks with both weapons. The only special you're performing with the mainhand-only is envenom. It's not performed frequently enough to offset the increased number of hits from the faster weapon (which should be in the off-hand). As deadly is still on a fixed percentage it should be on the faster weapon (again, which should be in the off-hand). Thus, IP main-hand, DP off-hand in most cases.
The only exception to this rule is when you have two equally-fast daggers. In that case, reverse the poison placements.

Could you please explain why to switch them if daggers are same speed?Proc rate of deadly on a fast weapon is higher than normalized instant, and Envenom comes from your MH.

Thought as of 3.3 we should put more points into combat tree picking up lighting reflexes for the haste bonus. Or is it better to use the old school mut spec? I'm new so please take it easy on me
