Also if this is a threshhold that is passable with current gear availalbe it would be nice if your spreadsheet would be capable to indicate when you do pass that point.

Eventually, this might be possible. It's pretty darn hard to do, though.
First, the daggers case: the fastest possible OHs are 1.3 speed, and you have no poison talents to assign. DP thus ticks off for 225 (and basically never goes down) every 3 seconds, or 75 dps.
IP hits for 170, so you need to average 75/170 = .44 procs per second to do as much damage. Since it procs 20% of the time, this means you need to hit 2.2 times per second. Assuming you never miss or are dodged (which isn't possible with current itemization), it would require a 2.87x increase in attack speed over the base speed of the weapon. You get a 1.3x increase from SnD, 1.025x from pro-rated Blade Flurry, and ~1.02x from average mongoose uptime on both hands. This means that you need to get roughly a 2.11x increase in weapon speed from haste rating, which requires 1167 haste rating to obtain. Even if you somehow managed 100% uptime on both TSD and Dragonspine, that's only 565, and there's just not enough haste rating on other items to get another 600, nor do I expect there to be anytime soon.
Now, sword spec, optimally speaking, gets 4 points to put in poison talents, so the relevant comparison is DP with 4/5 Vile vs IP with 4/5 Imp. Deadly Poison with 4/5 Vile ticks off for 261 every 3 seconds, which is 87 dps, which requires .512 procs per second; with a 28% proc rate and assuming attacks never miss or are dodged, this requires 1.83 attacks per second. With the fastest possible sword OH (1.4 speed), this would require 2.56x attack speed increase, which works out to about.... 928 haste rating. Again, that's still well out of reach of current itemization.
So, briefly: From a theoretical perspective, it's possible, but in practice, it ain't gonna happen.
