Basically. In my experience, Claw = Ragebringer and Vyemm's Fang = Mrylokar's Dagger. The claw's better ratio has to compete with -40 ATK on every main hand, off hand, and backstab attack. It balances out to a degree, but it's lateral at best. Fang rogues perform just as well as Mrylokar rogues, but the lifetap DoT the best QoL boost you'll ever get on a rogue. It's a constant 30 hp regen buff that softens AoEs and keeps you patched up.

All that makes sense. The bummer is swapping in/out the fang for the epic (or myro) there is the lag while the client adapts to the slower delay. Same reason people don’t cycle in a weighted axe, but obviously an extreme version of that.
People do a lot of silly things for stats. The Ragebringer has a bucket of hps, 20sv magic, and attack. I feel like people rush to bag it because it looks like they are more elite. If your offhand does roughly 20-30% of your total damage you have to make massive offhand gains to see the effect on the parse. I don’t think the juice is worth the squeeze even just by the napkin math.
For the tryhards out there, I’d pick up a Silver Whip of Rage. You can casually swap that into to either slot since the rune lasts like half an hour. You also might be in a situation where you are called to MA for the raid or need to tank something where it would be a noticeable boost in durability. In our guild these are stupidly cheap compared to a claw.
