I use golden blade of ice at the moment, I like fire also but now we only have one active mage so I hardly ever get to use the fire lure bonus.
As of now skills are broken so the rejuv seems pointless. The only thing I sometimes want to recast is smoke bomb, but I don't find it worth losing the dps gear and on fights like Agg another rogue is usually casting smoke bomb anyway.

I have all blades and the dagger, the dagger was pretty useless tbh... If you want the Rejuve go trident...

@Robert, I honestly believe the Poison Dagger is much better than the Trident, for DPS, Soloing and Grouping. I don't think the Tridents really compare to Venom Dags/Golden Blades, for rogues atleast.
I personally use a Golden Blade of Magic, but I have fire too. I used to have a Golden Blade of Ice (for the pure fact of the lava area), but no mages really use Ice lure. Most mages use Fire Lure so Fire is the best option in that case, but I made my own 2nd Device Mage alt with skills as followed:
30/30 Cloak of Fire
35/30 Fire Lure
30/30 Assasin Lure
35/30 Magic Lure
20ish Sacrifice
With Rogue Damage gear as follows:
Bloodlust Helm (10 Pierce Dmg)
Majestic Talon (7 Pierce Dmg)
Frozen Meteoric Dagger (65 Pierce Dmg)
Radiant BP (120 Heat Dmg)
Radiant Legs (80 Heat Dmg)
Radiant Ammy (50 Heat & 50 Magic Dmg)
Golden Blade of Magic (200 Magic Dmg)
2x Godly Stormfist Ring (100 Magic Dmg)
1x Imperial Stormfist Ring (45 Magic Dmg)
(also an aggy bracelet that gives me about 300 Attack).
And waiting on 1 more Imperial+ Stormfist.
The main reason I went Magic Blade instead of Fire is because no mages at all use Magic Lure. I think my Mage is the only one on Rhiannon. Also, very few people HAD a Golden Magic Blade, which gives my Rogue (with 395 Magic Dmg) a Huge advantage in FFA's. Unfortunately, I've seen an increased number of Golden Magic Blades popping up around Rhiannon.. Not exactly sure why, almost no one had when I got mine.
But onto my last skill - Sacrifice. Sacrifice is insta-cast which makes it an amazing skill. Near the end of bosses if I have Sneaky and Assasinate to use, I can simply Sneaky, Sacrifice and Assasinate. (I have 0 Energy Regen in-combat). So for those with 2-devices, a Support Mage is a Rogues best friend! (remember you can use Energy Well too, with 1 Focus on Rogue, works wonders, especially with a Skele King E Well charm.. That's the only real use for them IMO).

I actually had a bit of a looksie at the different between a trident and a dagger's damage yesterday.
With 125 raw strength, and varying between:
diamond armour - frozen armour
greater es neck - mighty ammy of knives (15 pierce)
poison (adds 59 without trident, 63 with) - no poison
The dagger came out on top in every situation, and the gap increased depending on how much strength i had.
I'm at work at the moment but if you guys want me to, I could edit this and put up the numbers when I get a chance.
