I suspect you dont. There is no advantage to fast weapons in any situation for a rogue.
The advanatage of a dagger is that it lets you use special styles, not that its fast.
Im talking about the main hand. Fast weapons in the off hand are fine, maybe even best because they may proc poison more often(I havent seen a test checking this though).

I don't presently but I did in Beta to level 42. Certainly not to cap but long enough that I got a feel for the class.
I stand by my assertion that the soloing rogue is concerned with burst DPS over a short period of time. I also do not believe in making one trick ponies that rely upon a single skill for their damage output, hence my "I cannot fathom" statement. I have anecdotal evidence to back up my impressions of late game rogues. As a high level paladin I frequently grouped with rogues of every play style. On many occassions, as the support healer, I would slap a seal of reckoning on a rogue to allow them to heal themselves over time. The quicker the attacks, the faster the rogue would heal. In every instance the rogue dual wielding daggers healed themselves faster than a sword/dagger rogue. In addition it was always the dagger/dagger rogues that could pull aggro off a tank because of their fast, damaging attacks. They frequently would then switch to a sword in their main hand over their dagger precisely to slow down the damage they do.
