YAK in primary. It will proc a LOT more there (esp if you have high dex).
Your dex bonus isn't applied to your off-hand.
Also, since the Yak is slightly faster (hardly at all tho) you'll balance
out the (very slight) damage difference by getting to apply your strength
bonus more often. And since the yak will proc far more often (if you have
dex over 100) in your primary hand you'll more than make up for the
difference in dmg with the additional procs you'll see.
Good luck! I would also recommend a Sionache's partisan instead of the Yak
;) It's 9/19 and some pretty impressive stat bonuses.
When I'm actually using melee I use a Sionache's partisan and a Saeiny's
Claw.
