If you always wield Sword/Dagger from day 1, you'll find your Sword skill going up much more than your Dagger skill. Best thing to do is probably start Sword/Dagger until getting to Arnika, then Dagger/Dagger until your Dagger skill gets comfortably high, then Sword/Dagger again for the rest of the game.

Bloodlust / Thieves Dagger is definitely a great Rogue weapon combo, and in your specific party Bloodlust is best utilized by your Rogue. So it may be worth not bothering with Dagger/Dagger at all. In that case, just be prepared to pump more skill points into Dagger than Sword.

Add: And when I say Bloodlust / Thieves Dagger is "great", I mean great like "You could comfortably keep using it for the whole game" great. If you get your skills/attributes high enough that you penetrate regularly with those weapons, you will not be lacking for damage.
