Talents and Glyphs

The talents I use:

[ ] [ ] [ x ] - Shadow Focus
[ x ] [ ] [ ] - Deadly Throw
[ x ] [ ] [ ] - Cheat Death
[ x ] [ ] [ ] - Preparation
[ x ] [ ] [ ] - Prey on the Weak
[ ] [ ] [ x ] - Anticipation

The only recommended Glyph is the Glyph of Adrenaline Rush. The rest are situational or used for survivability.

These are the ones I use:
1. Glyph of Adrenaline Rush (Recommended)
2. Glyph of Cloak of Shadows (40% less physical damage as well as magic immunity)
3. Glyph of Feint (MoP has a ton of AoE damage fights)

Stat Priority

Agility > 7.5% Expertise = 7.5% Hit > Haste > Mastery > Crit

Single Target Rotation

Rogue's rotation comes from a priority system. Here I will display the priority that you should follow:

- Combo Point builders
1. Cast Ambush when you are in Stealth.
2. Cast Revealing Strike only to keep its debuff up.
3. Cast Sinister Strike.

- Finishing Moves
1. Apply and maintain Slice and Dice, with whatever amount of combo points you have dont clip buff though.
2. Use Rupture with 5 Combo Points
3. Use Eviscerate with 5 Combo Points.

*Ignoring Rupture from the rotation simplifies it, but it sacrifices about 1 or 2% of your DPS. (~900-1000 DPS)

Multi Target Rotation

Use blade flurry for 2 or more targets and keep on doing your single target rotation, but do it without Rupture as blade flurry wont be affected by it.

When you are encountering more than 7 targets your rotation changes:

- Combo Point builders
1. Fan of Knives

- Finishing Moves
1. Crimson Tempest

*Do this rotation while still auto-attacking a target.
