Anyone know why Dagger gets so muchless rep than Cutlass?

Use more thrown daggers in your attacks.

If you have the hit points to take it, use nothing but thrown attacks. I was pulling 100 pts up until mastering off of the EITC Assassin in Beckett's Quarry (or a Stump in El Suduron). With the new belts, it should be easier to do with fewer runs to the blacksmith too.

Part may be how you used your points, if you put points in first atacks or swipe, its like stated above you are doing to much damage.

If not use first three or so atacks over and over with asp/alder and throw dirt, then right at the end with barely any health something like viper nest.

Some think this is all wrong and to just use highest skill you have, so I would recomend going and testing it out what you get the most rep with.
