I'm not sure about the damage part as I've never been specced Backstab. But Mutilate will provide more combo points.

Level, spec, weapon choice, poison choice, the variables are numerous. Additional information would be useful.

Well, doing some quick math, a Rogue with 3000 AP and a Webbed Death MH/Sinister Revenge OH (Low AP for the weapons, I know, round numbers) would do about 2106 damage on average (non-crit, lazy) with a Mutilate on a poisoned target for 60 energy.
Now, the same 3000 AP Rogue backstabbing with a Sinister Revenge would do 1473 damage on average for the same 60 energy.
Backstab does get 30% bonus crit, while mut only gets 15%, but the raw damage alone is enough to go with mutilate, not even counting the CP/energy and double handed poison/weapon procs.
PS: If these numbers are wrong, someone correct me, cause this post was made through a sleepy haze.

I'll also point out, at the point of having 3k+ AP, if you're using daggers you want them to hit the target as often as possible as well, thus Mutilate. If you don't have SCT running or don't pay attention, you might not of noticed, but IP right now hits harder than basically every dagger in the game once your break 3k AP. For myself it normal hits for 1k, and crits for 2k. You want that offhand procing IP as much as humanly possible, and Backstab won't be giving you that extra OH yellow attack for more procs.

The mutilate damage you are seeing may look lower because you are probably only seeing the main hand damage. Main hand probablt is lower than backstab but the two together are always more damage. Cheap shot, wait a second until target is poisoned and then mutilate. some peole even say, CS, SnD Mut wait for energy KS, mut mut

I usually go with :
3x Hfb , Let energy regen > Cheapshot/Garrote > SnD > Mut 2x > Envenom and they're dead by then.
This usually let's me kill a mob within 6-7 sec, so works pretty good for me

I've played Combat Swords in TBC and lvl'd to 80 as Combat Swords, then respecced to Mutilate. With crafted blue gear and blue daggers, I was pulling well over 2200 dps in raid overall.
My rotation basically was:
Before fight, stack HfB to 3
Open the fight, however, then SnD
Build 4+ combo pts and envenom
Maximized my rupture (4+ pts) time on target
ALWAYS watch HfB and SnD timers...it's tough but it's worth it for such a great tree.
