    It's situational, depend a lot on how much penetration you have. I don't know enough to expand on the topic though.

    This. Also depends on whether you're DPS, heals, tank, PVP.

    Yep, the weapon traits are more balanced than they've been in the past ... time to read up/research based on your preferred content.

    PvE stamina is going to be Nirnhoned on the main hand with Infused in the offhand, using a poison damage enchant and a Berzerk (weapon damage) in the offhand. Backbar is nirnhoned with a double damage poison (crafted). Infused main hand / precise or sharp offhand are seconds to this first setup, and will vary slightly based on which stats your character is currently rockin'.

    Note: Infused in the offhand reduces the CD of the main hand enchant, but does not increase its potency.

    PvE magicka with Infused staves on both bars (what some mag DDs have been reporting me, so don't murder me for that if I'm incorrect on that one :| )

    PvP entirely depends on what kind of build and matchup you buildin' against.

    Choosing the wrong trait isn't an issue anymore since you can change the trait with transmute.

    Its going to depend a lot also on the group you run with or if you are running in a group at all. Your weapon trait in trials where you are reaching max pen through buffs/debuffs will be very different from preferred trait running solo.

    That said, a simple answer would be that infused is very popular for DPS right now.
