For rogues to compete now, they have
to swap their offhand twice every 12 seconds or so. Please kill
this like you said you would, as it is completely ridiculous and
horrible to do. Give some minor haste and white hit buffs to rogues
so they can compete with the better scaling plate wearers, etc
instead.
Edit - For those who do not know, weapon swapping of this manner
involves getting 5 deadly stacks up (deadly on your offhand), then
swapping to dual instant (or wound for some combat fights), then
swapping back to deadly offhand a few seconds before the deadly
stack fades. GC stated this was not an intended mechanic, and would
be killed if it became too viable/prevalent, which it has.

Q u o t e:
Patch 3.2.3: Swapping weapons now removes any buff/debuff applied
by that weapon
This is a myth. We haven't made a change like that.
We think the problems with swapping weapons get overstated a lot.
There is some theoretical evidence that you can get a small dps
increase by swapping weapons. In reality, many of the rogues who
try it find that it's too prone to error given the marginal
benefit. If you can make it work, that's great for you, but we
don't think that weapon swapping will be the typical way for rogues
to max out their dps.
Now if it got the point where the typical raiding rogue was
dependent on swapping weapons, we'd probably do something about
it.
