At the moment I've currently got Vanir's right fist of brutality and quickening blade of the prince on my offhand. My spec for PvE is 16/45/0, taking both fist and sword spec in combat. Though, a while back somebody told me to get both Vanir's fists and get rid of the quickening blade for a better scale of DPS.
Would that be a better choice? I'd miss out on the extra swings from sword spec, though gain the extra damage from vile poisons with those extra talent points. So a bit unsure which to pick now I've got enough badges to buy the other fist.
Fist/Fist is better for you more than likely due to the sheer dps increase the offhand vanir's fist is when compared to the quickening blade. I knew it was for me (at least until I got my talon and went sword/sword).
Do NOT get rid of the the quickening blade though. It's the best offhand sword till late BT, and Talon of Azshara/Quickening Blade just barely edges out the Vanir's set (at least it did for me by about 2 or 3 dps).
Again, plug your gear into a spreadsheet and see for yourself, as your other stats will effect the numbers.

Incorrect. Sword/sword is still around .5% better than sword/fist or sword/mace, at any level of gear.

Rofl. First of all 1 point of lethality is more dps than 1 point of vile poisons in pve (+6% crit damage on specials.
(one 2k crit every 10 seconds is an extra 120 damage or 12 dps, vs. 9 dps from one rank of vile poisons)
Imp sprint is better than elusivness in PvE hands down. Shortening the cooldown of abilities you never use in PvE gains you nothing. Making sprint break snares (like vashj's roots, etc) is by far a better use of the two talent points.
Giving up +4% damage on SS (average ss is about 1.1-1.2k at T5 which would be an extra 44 damage or so every few seconds, and that's ignoring crits) and 2% agi for fist spec over the 36 dps from vile poisons is stupid.
Really now... where did you get your rogue information?

I'm sorry, but
Quickening Blade of the Prince
is by no means the best offhand sword before
Blade of Savagery
, which is what I assume you are referring to by "late BT".
Both
Akil'zon's Talonblade
and
Merciless Gladiator's Quickblade
are significantly better, and one of those is even purchasable with honor. Of course, Vengeful would be even better, but not with most people's arena ratings.
You are correct sir. Forgive me I was out of game through most of the 2.3 patch cycle (at least pve wise), I've set foot in ZA maybe 3 or 4 times total, and completely forgot about the talonblade. As for the gladiator's quickblade, I was talking about PvE obtainable items. Perhaps I should have said "one of the best"
