Bah, you can't rain on his parade. Combat daggers are sub-par DPS for sure, but if he isn't raiding he has every right to play how he'd like.

In BC, I was combat daggers when all the FotM rogues were following EJ's advice and speccing combat swords. I consistently out dps'd sword rogues (god knows how?) who swore they used optimal rotations and had equal gear. Personally, I liked the positional requirements of combat daggers and spamming something other than sinister strike. Besides, in raids you have a positional requirement as to where you stand no matter what you spec.

In WotLK, the difference in DPS for combat daggers versus other specs is much larger and I've conformed to the cookie cutter mutilate spec. I'm no theorycrafter and I find that maximizing dps is more important to me than playstyle - but not everyone has to have the same priorities.
