Some might argue that Fists is better for leveling (if you can find any that is) Because of the increased crit on your special attacks.
Sword spec might proc off a Sinister Strike, but it's not gonna do as much damage as a Sinister Strike Crit would. Same goes for Eviscerate, you're not going to be using Rupture to level, mobs just don't last that long.
And as far as endgame raiding goes, a combination Fist/Sword spec is best, A fast sword in the offhand and a Slow fist in the Main hand, because the Offhand sword will proc a Main hand swing (which has +5% crit)

there are no good fists for lvling so that is a moot point
and yes
fist/sword duel spec is the best spec DPS spec in the game.

Actually fist/sword is almost on par with sword/sword. Is about a 1-2% diffrence in total average damage, while fists can do more damage per hit they can also do far less. The average damage will be less till your sporting T5/T6 and even then its hit or miss.
For reliable damage go with sword/sword. Also it has the benefit of not spending an extra 5 talent points for fist spec, you can likely put them to good use elsewhere.
