Sub PvP Weapons?

I see so many PvE/Raiding guides, or even leveling ones, on this forum. Makes me wonder what happened to the rogues of yore, stepping from the shadows to plant a dagger in the back of a hapless foe.
Actually I'm just wondering what kind of weapon setup is best for Sub PvP (mostly leveling still atm, but I love doing the lower-tier PvP for some reason). I'm assuming a slow dagger in MH, but what about for the OH? I see some people with another slow dagger, some with a fast dagger, some with a really slow sword/axe/mace/fist, etc. and was wondering which provides the highest burst and why.
Thanks for any input.

Fast whatever in OH; in Cataclysm this will mean a dagger, but while leveling just use anything fast. There's no real "burst" that comes from your offhand, especially since nothing in Subtlety boosts your OH in any way, you just want it faster for more poison procs and cheaper Shiv.
Also, while the effect from this is probably pretty marginal (especially for PVP), if you use a faster OH the 50% damage penalty will shave a smaller amount from your OH attacks vs. a slower weapon, and you lose less white damage from your OH misses as a result of this as well as the weapon speed. (i.e. if you miss with your 1.8 dagger vs. your 1.4 dagger, you have to wait longer for it to swing again to get that chance at damage, AND it suffers a larger penalty to average damage in absolute terms vs. the 1.4 even when it hits.)

That makes sense and is what I figured would be the case, I just wanted to be sure. Thank you very much for the answer :). Now it's time to crack some heads (or rather, stab some backs)!
