You can do just fine with heartless and the talonblade.
Hell I use a talon of azshara and the quickening blade and my dps is still higher than if I were to use the vanir's fist set (only by about 3 dps, but still).
Unfortunately, there still is a rather severe lack of swords in PvE (the only raiding upgrade to the quickening blade/talonblade is in late BT), so you'll be stuck with your weapons for a while. As far as main hand goes, again there's only a few raiding upgrades to it, talon of azshara and the blade of infamy, and again both are in SSC/BT.
That said I know a few sword rogues who are in T6 with the heartless/talonblade combo and they do just fine (granted not quite as much damage as they would do if they got the vanir's set, but the dps change is marginal at that point).
edit:
Taking a look at your armory, there are a few general things I've noticed...
- Fix your spec. It should really be something like this
- Get PvE shoulders when you can
- Your gems are all sorts of messed up...
Head: Should be hit/agi - Chest: Should be hit
- Pants: Should be hit and agi/stam
- Belt: Should be hit and hit
You should really consider some new trinkets.
