Heya broz i'd like to ask u what do u think is the best way to xp with a dagger.
some say blows, some other vicious stance on....
i do blows on solo but when im buffed i open vicious stance....
k so, what is ur opinion?
Depends on the class.

Daggers relay on crts, some like PW would be better off with crt dmg SA. While TH and AW would fair better with Focus SA.

TH is a bit different, while I say Focus is best they can use crt dmg also, as long as your with good support all the time. Sws, WK.

AW cause they lack the passives for increased crt rate is best with bonus of Focus to boost their crt rate up. But AW has the best dmg of the 3 daggers.

VS on the other hand is mp Expensive you can use it, but with out a SE/EE to give you mp used burn off your mp fast over time.

Using skills will drain your mp to, the best bet is to toggle VS on and off from time to time. But relay on crts for thats where your dmg really comes in.

In fact: don't even use skills (BS, deadly strike) unless you have 4+ mobs on you. If your going to use VS make sure you keep some extra MP in case you have to fake death (TH, PW), or pop skills off to clear a few mobs that over ran you.

Skills are mostly for PvP. Not so much for PvE. And haste is a great choice for end game when you pvp alot, cause it refreshes your skills faster.
Personallly I just switch VS on and hit mobs. I'm using a Focus Dagger and +5 dex +4 str and I also use greater swift attack potions. It kills fast and VS can stay on for a long time but it depends on how many MP herbs I get from the mobs.
If there is a recharger around, and you fight high HP mobs I'd say blows > VS. I had some nice cata/rift trios with my BD, a TH and a SE and these lethal thingies they have land way too often imo.
