Just finished swiftwind the other day so I've been testing it out with other weapons. The HS dagger (9/17) is only slightly less dps than the earthcaller when paired with the swiftwind.
The one thing that I notice is the HS dagger is more consistent dps, in other words the range on the avg is small compared to the range on the earthcaller avg dps. Killing in KC today I noticed would get avg of 50-55 dps on the HS dagger, earthcaller would range 45-65 dps. This was with shaman buffs most of the time, but selfbuffed my str is around 215.
Another aspect of the fights and the consistency of the faster mainhand weap is that these fights wouldn't last more than a min. On some of the mobs like the dog WL who has over 10k hp, the earthcaller was doing 55-60 dps I'd say. Those longer fights would make the window range a bit smaller.
Would be interested to see anyone else's findings, at the very least we get less agro with the HS dagger since you're not slowing mobs
