Pretty explanatory, which is better? Which is preferred?
Whats the advantages of either? I know dagger is clothies, and swords are for warriors and pallys, but is there not more information? Surely its not just that simple. 
depends on what your playstyle is - both work perfectly fine and have their ups and downs
Would you rather stucklock people to death or have big burst damage?
IMO daggers. Swords better for pve.

Depends on your gear
Swords are better than anything else in game if you have Viskag for your mainhand
Daggers are better than anything besides Viskag if you have a Perditions blade
Swords are better than any daggers outside of Perditions
I currently run gutgore and CHT, but only because I played 2 sword rogues at 60 previously and decided to only play with daggers on this character
Right now i dont have anything great for gear, bad luck on rolls so far. I’m running Bartman SHank, and Shadowblade OH right now…perditions is on my list for wants tho.
From my experience so far, for bgs I think the best is Imp Sprint Prepa with daggers, you have control and a lot of burst. Also the Lobotomizer is a good weapon and easy to get.
For duels and wpvp CB Hemo prepa is better, because the stunlock is far easier to pull, but its hard to 1v1 in a bg.
As an alliance rogue is seems better to go bursty with daggers. Orc stun resist and the pvp trinket make stunlocking not as reliable as it appears in YouTube videos.
Daggers is more balanced, since you can get a bit deep into combat with imp sprint/kick, allowing you to have a better chance against mages and druids.
CB/Hemo can’t get any of those 2, but as Hemo you will be able to wreck dagger rogues and burst people down a lot faster, as your main cp generator is just 35 energy and you can CB evis into a big crit.

Im currently using 5/5 Camo because i dont have 5 extra points atm to put into MoD. Is that ok? I feel like against other rogues MoD is important.
Unless you are going full Hemo you don’t really need camo. MoD is more important since if you don’t get the opener is going to be very difficult to win.
And yes, 0/5 MoD is guaranteed lose against most rogues.
If you want to “minmax” those stealth talents you can 4/5 MoD 1/5 Camo or 3/5 MoD 2/5 Camo, mainly cuz of the -1/-2 CD to stealth, allowing you to restealth ez after a CS + Gouge combo.
do you think 4-1 or 3-2 are the better versions? I feel like 3-2 is pretty good imo
Yeah 3/2 can be good, but 4/1 is more than enough.
Open CS (4s) + Gouge (4.5s) = 9.5s, stealth is up again and you can restealth.
dont got the resources atm, but if 4/4.5 is 4/1…what would the times look like with 3/2
It’s the same.
With 2/5 camo, your stealth cd becomes 8s instead of 10s.
But 1/5, is 9s. And you just want it, ideally, to be less than 9.5s. So 1/5 camo works
Daggers for PvP for the burst if you have a decent MH dagger. Swords for PvE.
atm i have the WORST gear, but i have daggers because thats just what has dropped so far…but i prefer playing daggers so atm thats probably what i’ll be doing…definitely gonna change up my talents to get MoD tho. I dont think theres really a need for camo now
For horde go sword rogue. The trolls want daggers for tanking
daggers for tanking?? im also alliance
21/0/30 is the best hemo spec. you need viskeg, cts or claw of black drake plus a lot of atk power to make it unstoppable.
i thought agi was hemo and ap/crit was daggers o.o
