Help with new off hand swords

I'm wondering how the off hand swords help warriors and rogues, it seems they r mainly for mages were mages actually have abilities for fire, ice, and magic while warriors and rogues don't have these abilities to help them use the new swords. Another thing why dont the swords have slashing damage so it helps balance towards all classes and do the damage a sword is suppose to do. What I really want to know is if I buy this for my warrior how wi it affect my damage I would hate to spend 300k and find out it doesn't really help much.

They don't help mages unless you found a way to make a Mage a melee class, The dmg on the swords just adds directly to your autoattack dmg with a chance to be resisted based on magic resist instead of slash resist.

I wish they would clarify that this was not for casters because as a Mage, I thought the same thing and dropped 300k for one thinking my ice shards dps was going to go up huge.
