I havent played a dagger spec since right after they introduced the double strike hilts. Is dagger even a decent option anymore?

It is when used in a hybrid-template.  Like my aluvian mages:  10/10/100/70/100/100.  Won't have max dagger, but it's kinda cool to be a mage and taking out Rushcks on DI. 

Those stats are with quick augged btw.

I have a dagger/bow/fletching spec char on DT.

Bow when I can, access to shield and melee when I need it and spec fletching vendor access. (can buy deadlies instead of having to make oil and crap)

100 end 100 coord and 100 focus start

why not war/dagger/melee d/healing? Seems like that used to be pretty good.

Dagger is fun. It is viable and allows for more character flexibility. Some unique weapons come with dagger.

Dagger has always been the weakest of the 3 racials pre ToD, UA has always dominated in the PvP scene as the best racial weapon. Its just how the dice is rolled by Turbine as to how AC1 and mechanics are. Unfortunately.

They resurrected the "double/triple strike" daggers of yore in new top tier versions. These weapons have a 420 weild req, but they can be devastating in pve and pvp.

If you do go dagger just remember that dagger damage is determined by coord.

Dagger has the lowest damage over time of all weapons.

However, pvp is not based on damage over time, it is based on "burst" damage. If I swing a sword at you over and over but I don't do enough damage to overcome your healing, you will never die. If I triple swing a dagger at you and I crit twice in one swing, you wont be able to heal out of it.

A triple strike 420 dagger can do incredible burst damage if you get consecutive hits.

Therefore, although dagger lags behind the other weapons in damage over time (only SLIGHTLY), it can be effective in pvp (if your opponent doesnt immediately shield).
