It's not unusual for a Rogue to be using a slow weapon in the main hand, and a quick weapon in the off-hand. This is why some Rogues go as a Swashbuckling/Fencing style and use a sword in the main hand and a dagger in the off-hand.

What is the reason for this? Poison procs will trigger more often with your off-hand, and won't mess with the DPS of Sinister Strikes, Eviscerate etc abilities, however the Rogue will not be able to Backstab, Mutilate or Ambush their prey, reducing burst dps.

General

Daggers come only in one-handed edged weapon varieties, usually in the form of a short, narrow blade with a short handle or hilt. Some daggers have an edge on one primary side, some have curved blades, but all generally rely on the ability to stab or slash an opponent quickly. They are also used by lighter armored classes such as priests and mages, as daggers are easier to conceal and carry than a sword or an axe. Daggers are trainable by all classes except Paladins and Death Knights.
