How powerful is Destruction on weapons.

In a different thread, I learned that stat damage got nerfed, so it wasn't as effective. Stuff like -1 to Constitution or Strength, ect.

I would assume Destruction still has value, dropping AC. So, I wonder if it is worth focusing on?

My specific situation is about daggers. I am a 16th lvl Rogue with most of my points in Assassin and VFK, so my daggers have tons of bonuses and the Critical multipliers.
And I am 100% offhand TWF.

I have been fortunate to get named items (also farmed the crap out of some stuff) so I have a variety of weapons to chose from.

My destruction question is should I double up on 2 destruction weapons?

I main hand Slice.
Phlebotomizing
Heartseeker IV
Exceptional Seeker +3
Destruction
+5 Enhancement Bonus

Off hand, if destruction is powerful, I could double up with my Feywild Dagger.

+2 Enhancement Bonus
Feybane 2
Destruction
Maiming 2
Crystal

But I hate to give up the Vampirism effect on my Macabre Dagger. It's nice to be constantly adding hit points.

+5 Enhancement Bonus
Mother Night's Embrace
Human Bane 3
Vampirism 1
Chilling 3

But I also Recently got Moonslice, which has nice stats, and is Vorpal.

5 Enhancement Bonus
Negativity 4
Chilling 4
Vorpal
Quality Deception +1

I also have the Barovian Dagger, which I dropped a Ruby of Good into, for fighting undead and such.

+5 Enhancement Bonus
Silver
Holy 3
Fiery 3
Undead Bane 3


I am lucky have these choices, I just don't know what is best pairing, as I move into higher levels.

Which 2 would you choose?

Destruction is mainly good for bosses, as it also reduces fortification, letting critical hits go through. It's nice to have, but not worth building around.

Destruction is only useful against tough bosses, as regular mobs will die before they get much reduction.
