Absurd dagger drop rates

A week or so ago I questioned whether or not dagger drop rates are intentionally set lower than other weapons/items. It didn't appear to be the case despite my personal observations. For everyone seeking an elusive dagger and getting nothing but staves, there was someone seeking staves and getting daggers.

But these numbers are just absurd.

I'm looking for two Sunderflame daggers (no need to comment on the nerf...I know all about it). Running CoA with a full group gives about 8 chances for a dagger (boss + 1 chest on average). Running solo gives 2 chances.

I've run about 40 CoAs with a group. So there are 320 chances.
I've run it solo 45 times as of this morning so that's another 90 chances.

At least 410 chances for a dagger and I've not seen one yet. And I need TWO! Come on, ZOS, really?

I have gotten 6 BSW inferno staves (and who knows how many have dropped for other players).
More axes, mauls, and maces than I can count.
But not a single dagger.

Forget about the hundreds and hundreds of chances at a VO dagger I've never seen...this is just stupid.

and if it's not stupid...consider this a standard RNG baseless rant :)

    my bank inventory is full of daggers, i've a fetish for sharp little thingy's. 3pc jewelery set plus pair of daggers = 5pc setup. Jewelery crafting brings changing traits on rings and necklace to INFUSED, then enchant all 3pc's with weapon damage. old gold weapon damage was 174, now with infused trait brings it up to 278 weapon damage on each piece and stackable= 834 weapon damage just for jewelery. Plus make this jewelery on Clever Alchemist crafted set.
