I don't know if you're missing the point, to transmog weapons, saying one-hand or two-hand is completely irrelevant. That's is NOT where you should look at. The "one-handed" is just to say it can be equipped in any hand. "Main-hand" shows it can only be on right hand, same as "off-hand" on left hand.
It has to do with animation in this case, don't you get it?
Make a rogue on blackrock with 2 swords, hit dummy, and observe its animation. Then switch to two daggers and chack its animation again, and then maybe you will figure it out why you can't transmog daggers into swords.
