However, you can do that without changing swords.

If I'm reading you correctly, you're looking at switching swords to get back closer to the Expertise cap. But what's the benefit to doing so? Expertise is, after all, just a number; what matters at the end of the day is not whether you have 2 expertise or 20 expertise or 200 expertise, but how much damage you do. And as DEL is usually pretty clearly inferior to Savagery, I'm not seeing much benefit to the switch. Being at 21 Expertise with Savagery seems like a perfectly reasonable option.

So my recommendation would be: perform whatever trinket manipulations needed to get back under the Expertise cap, but keep using Savagery.
