As a lvl 9 rogue, I have been thinking similar things.
One thing I noticed though; daggers of a certain level always seem to have a bad DPS compared to swords of the same type. Fine steel daggers are 3/19 (so just under 1/6) compared to 6/28 (just over 1/5) for a fine steel long sword. Even a standard rapier is 5/25 for a good 1/5 ratio and that's at least one 'class' lower than fine steel.
What is the advantage of the dagger given this disparity? I understand once you get weapons with stat bonuses, since daggers tend to have rogue-friendly stats, but is there something I am missing here which makes up for the lower DPS of a dagger?

Backstab is only usable with a piercing weapon in your main hand. You get it at level 10. Will give you much more damage assuming you're behind your target.
