Here is what I've been able to glean off of some Elitistjerks and friend questioning.

Step 1: Spec like this.

Step 2: Glyphs 
  • Sinister Strike 
    • Your Sinister Strike critical strikes have a 50% chance to add an additional combo point.
  • Rupture
    • Increases the duration of Rupture by 4 sec
  • Killing spree
    • Reduces the cooldown on Killing Spree by 45 sec.
Step 3: Rotation
  • Keep Slice and Dice up
  • Keep Rupture up
  • 5 point Eviscerate if you can before Slice and Dice drops
  • Use cooldowns whenever possible. Killing spree + blade flurry, blade flurry +
    adrenaline rush can be used. Adrenaline rush + killing spree is not recommended
    due to energy capping.
Step 4: Gems
  • [Relentless Earthsiege Diamond] For your meta (Requires one red, one yellow, one blue)
  • Until you reach hit cap, gem to activate your meta and then the rest should be rigid (+hit) gems. You get zero dps when you miss. Pick up socket bonuses where you can with the red, blue, and yellow gems you will be using anyway, but forget them otherwise. I can't stress enough how important the hit cap is. 
Step 5: Hit cap and expertise
  • Being at the hit cap, or slightly above, is your top priority.
  • Seriously, super important.
  • The attacks you miss produce no damage.
  • The hit cap for rogues is 315, assuming you have 5/5 spent in precision.
  • The hit required to be capped goes down if you have a druid with improved fairy fire, a shadow priest with misery, or a draenei in the group. But you can't count on any of those, so just aim for 315.
Step 6: Stats
  • Wasn't sure where else to put this so here it goes. :)
  • Agility over AP every time. 1 agility is equal to 2 AP, and it serves double duty by adding crit.


This seems like a hearty list. But if you follow all of this and get squared away, you will be pounding down close to 3000 dps and beyond in no time.

I will be out of town for a while. But I am serious when I say you can feel free to email me any questions. It hots my phone and I would be happy to do what I can from a blackberry to help you get your raid dps squared away.
