All classes except for paladins can use daggers.

Dagger Selection[]
It's not unusual for a Rogue to be using a slow weapon in the main hand, and a quick weapon in the off-hand. This is why some Rogues go as a Swashbuckling/Fencing style and use a sword in the main hand and a dagger in the off-hand.
What is the reason for this? Poison procs will trigger more often with your off-hand, and won't mess with the DPS of Sinister Strikes, Eviscerate etc abilities, however the Rogue will not be able to Backstab, Mutilate or Ambush their prey, reducing burst dps.
