Eh.. the weapons are too similar damage-wise to really argue about. Lupine dagger is better because it looks neat and the proc only gets you killed in a few places.
A new-er ranger should carry at the minimum: Earthcaller, a 9/18, and a Fayguard from HS. Besides the epic those are easy to obtain and the Fayguard blows away the ones you're talking about, falling squarely in the middle of exquisite weapon DPS.
The only reason to not use Earthcaller over a Jade Mace is not wanting the proc to kill you. And the only reason to use either of those over a Fayguard is in a group / raid situation where a small PBAE will wreck your crowd control and slows are taken care of.
