If I'm reading the thread right:

PvE
Rogues - E/M*
Warriors - E/M
Shaman - M/E or E/M (does not matter, see below)**

PvP
Rogues - M/M vs. cloth targets (factoring in armor reducing talents and S3 gear) E/M vs. Hard targets
Warriors - ? Savegry on 2H ... don't see too many Dual Wielding PvP warriors anymore -- but I'd say E/M.
Shaman - M/E or E/M (does not matter, see below)**

*Rogues get the biggest gain of all the melee classes from a Mongoose proc due to the agility -> AP -> crit -> dodge. As such, it appears to be a tougher call for Rogues on the dilemma of double Mongoose or Executioner/Mongoose.

It seems Executioner has a better benefit, or less drawback, for melee classes who don't get a 2 to 1 AP translation from AGI and favor STR. I do not believe it's been proven to the point where both hands should have the Executioner enchant though -- so one enchant of Executioner on the main or offhand (depending on class) should suffice.

**E/M or M/E for Shaman (their only yellow attack, stormstrike, procs both hands -- so it doesn't matter). If you're using a slow/fast combo, I would put Executioner on the faster, off hand weapon.

disclaimer: This is my humble opinion after reading and re-reading this thread many times over. Definitely needs to be tested a lot more.
