So,
first I want to say that although this specc is very common and played by many rogues out there, it is not the ultimative best specc. You can always pick some other talents if you have special purposes or are running a unique combo. So feel free to add your suggestions, but I think this specc is a very solid thing to start with.
Short FAQ:
Q: Why dont you pick FA about FW?
A: I've run some simulations and tried out a lot at the puppets, but FA is not superior to FW, especially because you just have 2 points (if you dont drop one point at Murder or Deadened Nerves), and also more especially at an arenafight.
Of course you can say "Sometimes the +2 Energy give me an extra Mutilate at exact the right time!", but then you can also say "My enemy was at 2% Health, I had killed him if I had +4% offensive power", so thats no real argument.
Q: Finally Serrated Blades over Initiative?
A: Although I am a big fan of Initative, I dropped it because Armor Pen. got a buff in 3.1. It still sucks to do Garrote - Mutilate and then just to have 3 CP, but the overall damage is worth it in my opinion.
Q: Some Variation with Blood Splatter?
A: I mainly keep up a bleed on rogues to prevent them from vanishing and getting away and not for the dps, but for a Heal/DD Team it might be a good idea to specc it.
Q: Improved Ambush?
A: Not worth the points imo, you can do better things with an opener (at least in arena fights), but if it works well for you, why not?
