Yes. Your class leader is wrong. In fact, this is kinda the whole point of sword specialization- your very fast OH sword procs the specialization, and you get a free MH hit as a result.

Follow the instructions in the first post in regards to weapon selection, and spec accordingly. Get the best MH you can get, and specialize accordingly. If you can get a fast OH sword, make sure to get sword spec. If the best MH you can get is a mace or fist, and you can get a fast OH sword, spec both. combat dagger/sword is just weird.

Once again, this is discussed in depth in the first post. Short version: use the fastest OH you can get your hands on. If the fastest OH you can get your hands on happens to be a sword, make sure your build has sword specialization in it.

The spreadsheet will give you a detailed rotation based on your *exact* gear and spec. A ton of work went into that spreadsheet so that you can answer this question yourself.
