Well, I personally use fist/sword hybrid and I tend to out DPS straight sword spec rogues in raid setting, except for one but he's just better equipped than I am. I guess the reason why fist/sword hybrid does better potentially is the fist spec lets your Sinister Strikes hit harder while the OH sword spec still procs the extra attacks.

Basically when your sword spec the most important hand if your off hand, while for fist spec your off hand is the last important. When your sword spec goes off with the off hand, it generates an instant main hand attack even though you have a fist in your main hand (and the extra attack then gets +5% to crit).

Yes, raiding at 70 my purpose for fist/sword is to be regularly over 50% crit during combat.
Also, somewhere on Elitist Jerks, where it shows Fist/Sword beating straight Combat Swords although i cant find the article now, no matter how small, it is still an increase in DPS.
