Question About Shrouded Daggers, Axes, and the Twin Blade and Blunt Passive

Twin Blade and Blunt:
(WHILE DUAL WIELDING) Grants a bonus based on the type of weapon equipped: Each axe gives your melee attacks an 8% chance to bleed enemies for 1056 Physical Damage over 6 seconds. Each mace causes your attacks to ignore 10% of an enemy's Physical Resistance. Each sword increases your damage done by 3%. Each dagger increases your Weapon Critical rating.
I've never used axes on my builds, so I am wondering if any of you axe users know the answer to this question:
Is the Twin Blade and Blunt passive wasted on axes while using the Shrouded Daggers skill because it's technically not a "melee" skill, and therefore cannot proc the bleed from the axes? Thanks.

Yeah, I found a dummy and tested it. It's a bummer because the Twin Blade and Blunt passive is an absolute waste on axes when using the Vateshran dual wield set as a ranged finisher.Edited by GrumpyDuckling on January 10, 2021 4:05AM0 -

Vateshran dual wield is a sustain set at best (2h is still better for execute damage wise, without losing a set) and the sustain is not even consistent, since u need to attack from behind, and it only happens during the second fight phase...0 -

The sustain is consistent, it’s the damage bonus that’s inconsistent if the boss microturns so you aren’t ‘behind’0
