Not to mention it was a concept actually used in real life. Come to think of it, what weapon in histroy has not in some manner been tipped by poison. Arrows, throwing weapons of any kind, swords... hell, guns may not be tipped with poison, they have come with their own kind of poison, lead poisoning.
Besides, irl, a dagger is a ton more likely to deliver a killing blow itself, where as throwing stars, were more of a defense, or a warning, and could be tipped with poison to deliver a killing blow. It would also be used as a means to conjure confusion within the enemy. Either way, if you ask me, I'd say it made more sense to make a poison base class use throwing stars.
As for the F/P thing, there is nothing wrong with F/Ps at all, and nothing great about I/L that really make them so much better than F/Ps, so I really don't know where the anti-F/P bs comes from. It's far from a horrible class.
