Oh and to answer this question. When not backstabbing/ambushing a
sword in the mainhand and a fast dagger in the offhand is a good
choice. I use a weapon swap macro, and I haven't noticed the
difference with 1 second cooldown introduced with 1.7. I look at the 1
second as a half way to my next energey tick, so no big deal.
