Some of the new Artifacts make DP's a lot more enticing.

Can a DP swing with a weapon that is ap-whatever and use his MC-ness to make it ap2 instead?

Is there any written rule for it? Where?

I know this used to be a thing, and probably still is, with the black mace.

Thanks for your time

The written rule for this is "smash". Check your rule book again more closely.

The smash rule specifically states that you can substitute attacks for one s10 ap2 attack OR all your attacks are resolved at ap2.

Pretty much this. All attacks AP2 in the hands of a model with the smash rule, regardless of weapon profile.

Neither of your poll questions are correct, by the way. Or both are correct, depending on how you look at it.

A model with smash always strikes at AP2, unless the weapon being used is AP1. I believe this is the case with a D-thirster (correct me if I'm wrong)

With the exception of Hammer of Wrath or other special attacks which exclude Smash's effect, of course.
