The extra attack is always done by the weapon in the main hand. Thus, if you have a good fist weapon, it is a good idea to spec fist and sword, and keep a fist weapon in the main hand and a sword in the off hand. In that situation your extra attacks from sword specialization procs will be done by the fist weapon with +5% crit chance.

Sword Specialization
Inv sword 27
  • Sword Specialization (5 ranks)
  • Gives you a X% chance to get an extra attack on the same target after hitting your target with your Sword.
Requirements
Class Rogue
Talent required None
Properties
Affects Attacking with a sword
The Sword is the weapon of the artist, being a refined and elegant choice, based largely on economy of effort, and spacial awareness. Since the sword blade occupies such a small volume, compared to an axe or mace, it becomes especialy important to ensure it is in the right place at the right time.
This means the sword wielder typically focuses on speed over power, and precision over force. Masters of the weapon can often make the sword blur, so fast are their attacks, and often hit twice for every one of the enemy's hits...

Functionality

Sword Specialization gives the Rogue a chance to deliver a second blow to the same target, while wielding a one-handed sword.

Notes

The best weapon spec for PvE as it provides the biggest DPS boost, assuming you have no problem obtaining good Sword weapons of course.

Can ONLY proc off of normal (white) swings.

A good choice of Specialization, particularly considering that the second attack has the same chance of going Critical as any other attack.

Especially useful to Human Rogues, due to their racial Sword Specialization.

It can proc off both the main hand attack and the off hand attack, if there is a sword equipped in the appropriate slot.

The extra attack is always done by the weapon in the main hand. Thus, if you have a good fist weapon, it is a good idea to spec fist and sword, and keep a fist weapon in the main hand and a sword in the off hand. In that situation your extra attacks from sword specialization procs will be done by the fist weapon with +5% crit chance.
