I've gone combat and assassination. I am an assassination rogue at the moment. I was combat when I started. You see, I switched to assassination when I got a good dagger for it; I am doing very well this way.
My spec is: 51/13/7
I duel weirld daggers and use the following rotation:
1.Open with Garrote, if possible.
2.Slice and Dice
3.Hunger for Blood
4.Mutilate
5.Eviscerate or Envenom (to refresh SnD)
6.Multilate to 5 CP
7.Rupture
8.Mutlilate to 5 CP
9.Eviscerate/Envonom
10.go to 6
11.Refresh Hunger for Blood every minute.
12.Shiv where appropriate
I hit 8k DPS in Onyxia with 2 pieces of T9. I thought it went well. (:
But assassination's rotations are more complicated than combat's.
