EU+US Strongest weapons for Rogue in Battlegrounds

Kenzilla

Grandfathered
I recently bought the Venerable Mass of McGowan with my Darkmoon faire tokens and I was wondering how these compare with the slowest attack one-handers in the game. Such as the Brushwood Blade and the Jagged Wing Slasher. Although the Brushwood and Jagged have a slower weapon speed, the item levels for the heirlooms are higher so I'm not sure which would be better.
 
Speed > ilvl. Even at 29 u will get bigger dmg with slow lvl 1 weapon compared to high ilvl fast one.
 
You know how much dmg 0.2 second difference would make? Is it substantial?
I use the http://www.wowhead.com/item=133693/jagged-wing-slasher on my Assis Rogue. It's not so much the 0.2s difference, it's the larger your abilities hit for that makes the difference. Same goes for Outlaw and Sub Rogues with slow One-Handers. Check how hard your abilities hit (inside the bg that is) with a slower weapon vs your normal weapon.
For PvE you have to weigh up the additional stats vs the slower speed but inside a bg or arena, it's all about the weapon speed for Rogues.
