VMA dagger build - advice - what is now BIS trait for daggers-

MakoFore

after running vma for an eternity- i finally got some daggers in decent traits- in my weeklies- sharp as it were- but now my other old ones are viable- or are they? i have infused , precise and sharp and a nirnhoned. really want to make a build around the daggers though- and make it work. mightn't be the best now- i understnad- but want took me long enough to get em- might as well use em.
what combination of daggers and axes are bis now for vma?
and for a stam dk- any advice for a build i can make around them?
I dont have a set of gold vo jewellery- unfortunately - so limited to overland sets. as i can't really get away from VO. need the sustain and sexy expedition waves. so I'm thinking - either
A. spriggan + VO + vMA daggers
B. VO + velidreth + agility jewellery + vMA daggers

what say you ESo brothers and sisters? what else is viable to make vMA daggers work this patch- and what weapons/ traits are best for dual wield these days?
I've heard a nirn dagger and infused axe? who knows... any discussion appreciated.

also- do GOLD VO , IA, moon dancer and other trial jewellery drop in weekly rewards from vMA weeklies- or only the relevant rial weeklies, i.e.. vSO , vAA runs, etc? if so I'm gonna buy like 4 more accounts and roll a bunch of freaking templars and wardens for it . i ll be the one with like 10k scores- given only 20 people finish that thing a week- and for good reason- its bloody rough on those classes.

No VMA weeklies don't give any trail jewels, only VMA jewel eg. winter born.

Also the reason no one gets weeklies anymore is the vast majority have finished farming, or gave up farming VMA.
So now there's virtually no one completing it.

Which traits you use depends on your group and what they're running, but it's only worth running vMA DW if you can sustain the rotation. Most sDKs I see don't even have a spammable (like Rapid Strikes), it's just all DoTs. Also vMA is pretty easy on a Templar.

1 infused main hand and 1 sharp, if you plan on running these daggers...Good luck sustaining on them now on anything that has over 1.5+ Health. StamDK they are really good on but I wouldn't use them on anything else anymore.

I want to do the same thing I have a bunch of vma daggers in various traits, my plan is to do 2 infused which would make the cruel flurry add 2600 to each dagger i think? If your running the 5 VO I think your sustain should be fine, you could even just do 1 stam regen on jewlery, the issue will be not getting enough penetration without sharp weapons, sprigg or tfs. I think you'll need 1 of those to make it work.

Stamina DK doesn't really need vMA daggers for maximum damage, since the rotation is mostly heavy attacks and reapplying DoTs. At first it seems advantageous to empower one of them by using the vMA enchant, but in fact this only ends up lowering your DPS by slowing down your rotation. However they would work well on classes that lack class stamina and must rely on rapid strikes and other weapon skills for DPS, like Stamina Sorcerer and Warden.
