I started trying to reply to this, but you've made it difficult. it is extremely situational, which one you'd use at a given time. There is no "This one is better for DE period" because it's dependant on the mob, your merits and your other gear. DEX, Att and STR are all lovely for THF ws, but dependant on so many other things.

I'd suggest searching for ongoing THF threads on BG or similar forums, where I imagine this has been done to death.

Dancing Edge: If the opponent's evasion is low, use DH. Else, HH. On a 5/6 hit WS, you need a lot of accuracy.

Shark Bite: DH

Evis: DH if the DEX lets you break an extra crit "tier", else HH... though you should only be using Evis if you can break that crit "tier" and/or have an X's Knife, which would probably rely on the mob being low eva most of the time.

While Heca body is being discussed. Is there any better body pieces to use on BRD for evis? Being my only 75, I tend to melee alot on it (farming and such) and would like at least a half decent setup for using it.

*gets owned* Guess i'm being lazy today. Good job fellow brit!

And for BRD wouldn't Heca be better? Not too hot on a BRD's base stats in comparison to THF's. But I imagine it boasts a much lower Dagger skill than THF, STR + Acc = win?

BRD have a B- in dagger. THF have a A-. I had intended to get an Antares harness for NIN (which I'm leveling currently), but I can get Heca from my sky shell. I had imagined STR and Acc would be the better choice, Just wanted some input if others were doing this on BRD, Thanks though.

Well Ultrar mentioned farming specificly, so STR vs any farming mob shouldn't be an issue, as well as the other benefits of EVA+, no Slow, and you wouldn't need to carry 2 body pieces which allows for +1 inv for farming.
