Switching Mongoose and Berserking enchants

I recently won
this new dagger
, previously I had
Daschal's Bite
and Anarchy (no faster dagger in my OH, I'm that unlucky when it comes to weapon drops) and my GM was nice enough to enchant it with a Berserking free of charge.
Now I was messing around with my spreadsheet and put IB (the one with Berserking) as my OH and DB (with mongoose) in my MH. I realized by switching them, meaning putting Berserking in the MH and Mongoose in the OH actually
increased
my DPS by around 20 or 30.
Theoretically, since both daggers are of the same speed, you'd think the proc would be the same either way, can anyone explain to me why such a DPS increase by switching the enchants? I'm thinking it could be along the lines of a MH enchant procs more than a OH enchant, but I can't really find information on weapon procs.

Zerking is not a PPM enchant while mongoose is.
You're wrong.
Mongoose actually does outperform berserking on high enough gear levels.

Berserking is 1.2 PPM.

There's something else at work here.
A) Your gear is not good enough to make Mongoose superior.
B) The proc difference from Finishers alone is absolutely not enough to cause a 30 DPS gap.

Well I'm not the best geared rogue there is, my gear is mostly 232 with some 245. It's got to be more around 15-25 dps increase than 30, but I remember that it wasn't a small 0.5 increase.
If I understand it correctly, finishers give off a higher proc chance?

No, finishers just come from your mainhand, so that enchant will tend to proc more often. It's an incredibly minor variance however, so there's something else happening.

Hmm I'm gonna have to check with my spreadsheet asap to give you the exact DPS increase...
On a side note, I heard like KidB mentioned that Mongoose outperforms Berserking at higher levels (Aldriana for example uses dual Mongoose now), Mongoose gives off 120 agility with a +2% increase in attack speed, I can see how it can be compared in DPS to Berserking but I don't really see
how
it can beat 400 attack power, unless it has something to do with the dual proc haste...

If you're running the latest Combat spreadsheet, just go over to the "Gear" tab and modify a lower-level item. Then I guess it's just a matter of checking if you notice a DPS raise when switching to dual mongoose...
I'm more intrigued as to why double mongoose gives better DPS, can anyone shed some light on this?

Its about how much dps increase the 3% haste buff means, eventually 3% haste will outperform the gap between 120 agi and 400 ap.
