Why SF + BvB for opener only? Curious. You mean bvb MH or OH?

BvB offhand ofc :)
Me and a mate testet that for combat the damage with 2x SF is higher in thd long run, due to the slow offhand. The 2 agility loss is not that important, well only for the opener.
After 1:28min of doing constant damage u will profit from double sf.
I prefer going sf/bvb becoz rogue is a burst class.
Btw: go assa with a different from all known setup and do damage as hell :)

1:28 min isn't a long enough test to conclude a definate result
By switching weapons you are losing out on a global cooldown right after ambush where you should try to pack in as much burst as possible, rogue's aren't about substained DPS or else everyone would be rolling haste enchants because they will give you more DPS than vers in the long run.
SF + BvB would be BiS, don't bother switching weapons its never worth the loss of a GCD

Now, who is wrong?

Second picture shows, that from all tested weapons is Sfang worst as off hand weapon. But, if you are gonna say (like most ppl who use Sfang as off hand), that you will have higher ability dmg with off hand Sfang, you are wrong. All lvl 29 rogue's abilities are scaled from main hand. Off hand is only for white dmg/stats.

Well, of course I testet a longer time, just mentioned the "turning point" here.
Besides I have to support Yapah's argument, that rogues dmg is not based on consistancy, but on high burst. There for go sf (mainhand) / bvb (offhand). If u can not find a BvB go 2x Shadowfang for sure.
 
Then you're lost. You should quit wow, without those weapons there is nothing to do. U can only die, I got no other possibility for u :( I'm sorry

BoAs are always BiS. Why is this even a question?
