I checked the translation all possible components count constructs like
a.zxyy * b.xxxw. If the components count is 3 or 4, MS compiler
generates d3ts_dotswiz with the respective number of args, and plain
mul/add if less. It does not prove that it is not possible to get
d3ts_dotswiz with 2 though, but I am not sure I should add such until I
will be sweeping all possible opcodes to have all of them in place.
After we finish with this patchset I will summarize the leftovers/TODOs
for preshader/effects I know so we could possibly prioritize them.

I used two separate entries into op_info with the same opcode and
different args count, and modified search to compare both opcode and
number of arguments.
