I am not sure, i think although it does more damage (only 1 extra though) the golden bodkin of spirits is better for rouges - it has regen and it fits in way more with the rouge "style" if you know what i mean...

Woah so much false input here no offense. :\

Here is EVERYTHING you need to know about the mentioned off hands.

Golden Axe of Carnage
80k
BEST dps offhand in game (17)
Does not offer health/energy regen

Golden Bodkin of Spirits
175k
Second best dps offhand in game (16)
Regenerates 10 health and mana per game tick

Golden Slayers Baselard
60K
Obsolete, I recommend NOT buying this

Spirit bodkin is best choice for training, and depending on your other gear if you have low weight gear and heroic rejuv, you will find yourself not needing the extra mana gain, thus making it not as good for use over the Golden axe, which is good because it is cheaper anyways.

BTW!!! Mixing dmg types Does not matter in most cases. mixing pierce with slash for example, will not take away, you will still get the dmg bonus.
Another thing to keep in mind, 1 DMG point translates into (depending on your level/STR) around 3-11 dmg just for one single point. So it is kind of a big deal.

Side note- Spirit bodkin is an AMAZING offhand for druids, I highly recommend getting one for druids!

Hope this helps!

I used to have the golden axe of carnage for my druid and rogue. Now I have switched over to the bodkin of spirits and have fallen in love with it.
