I had zero agrro issues with red blade + nev horn. But any other combo it pings too much.
Tried low delay weps krezien flame + horn, it's just isn't enough without the red blade proc. Krezien flame offhand wasn't enough to sustain agro without procs at all. Jaleen katana was even worse..
Need the proc from red blade or eventually dps will out agro your swing agro.

I think this in part is dependent on what your DPS is swinging too; you have to tank for some very high damage/low delay DPS setups.
Its interesting, because if there's an aggro limiter on Rogue engage, it probably shifts the optimal weapon setup. I have an Axe of Resistance on my offhand. If the offhand is still adding the damage bonus to aggro per swing, then Claw of Lightning compared to Axe of Resistance would be generating (25/18)/(26/24) = 1.27x the Aggro from offhand swings, while doing (14/18)/(15/24) = 1.24x the damage. If the Rogue is aggro limited in how they can engage and requires a backoff, the Axe is actually higher total damage because it has a higher damage per unit aggro ratio; the Rogue can engage earlier and back off less than one using Claw to exceed the same total damage, in theory.
Using Epic probably becomes optimal in an aggro limited situation because +ATK adds to damage without adding to aggro generation, which I suspect will cause it to outperform basically anything from a damage per unit aggro metric.
I'm using Ragebringer+Axe and have had no aggro issues since the patch. I'm on that weapon setup because I haven't had a chance to get anything with better ratios, since the highest end stuff is fairly uncommon for Sanctum to get. Now I'm not sure I even want to try saving for bids on higher end weapons instead of just engaging a little earlier and saving DKP for other gear. Axe of Resistance is already one of the highest damage per unit aggro generated weapons, I think only eclipsed by Razor Sharp Shortsword in the 0.6+ ratio weapons. And its BIS for resists.
