2.4, Badges and Speccing.Follow

I'm currently a Combat Swords Rogue.
Heartless in my MH, Merc. Quickblade in my OH.
Noticed recently that there are no swords available for badges in 2.4, but there is a pretty decent fist. This got me thinking.

What I was going to try to do was get the fist and spec this way:

It seems discouraged nowadays to go 2 different weapon specs, but with the not-so-recent-but-kind-of-recent changes wherein Offhand sword procs will proc as if it was mainhand, it would seem like a decent spec. 5% increased crit chance for SS along with a HIGH DPS Fist with decent Top-End damage and a very fast offhand sword sounds good to me.

Any comments? I know this was probably addressed before but I was looking and couldn't find anything, so I apologize if this is a repost.

**Edit: Also, the fist is FASTER with HASTE RATING.
**Edit: Messed up link for spec, fixed.

Well, I don't have a fist offhand, and one of the reasons I want to try this spec out is because of the sword OH and its procs.

There's a 1.5 speed fist offhand for badges too.

The fist MH is better than Heartless in every way, apart from the fact it's a fist. Much higher white dps, higher average damage (which is what matters for SS, not the weapon speed itself) and better offensive stats.

The DPS spreasheet has now cookie-cutter talent builds for swords, fists and combination of them, available at a (double) mouse click. You can check the projected DSP, AND get your talent build advice.

For what I was checking for myself: if I get enough badges in time, I will just spec combat fists. If not, it will be combat fist/sword until I get more badges.
