Mutilate/sub versus Mutilate/combat.Follow

From this thread: http://wow.allakhazam.com/forum.html?forum=21;mid=119442278175687358;num=11;page=1
continuing in proper forum.

Apparently it is stupid to be 41/0/20 because the combat variation yields higher DPS. Note that we are talking PVP.

Would like some opinions and thoughts on both builds, am open to suggestions, and more than willing to try any build.

Had also considered Muti/combat but some sub talents seem invaluable.

Not much new to discuss on this topic I'd say since the 2.3 changes to sub affect mainly the deeper part of the tree.

So I'd say that what was true in the past remains true:
- Muti/combat offers better sustained damages and better survivability when you're in combat thanks to great talents such as Imp Sprint (and Imp Gouge to a lesser extent).
- Muti/sub really makes you better at stealthing, and sapping.

Now it's really a matter of what you prefer. It's highly situation dependent. For BG's, I'd say go Muti/Combat. For arena, it depends. In 5v5 for instance, I'd say also Muti/Combat. For 2v2, this might shift in favor of Muti/Sub, because not being seen and having a nearly guaranteed start with one opponent sapped and the remaining one on which you can open is a nice advantage.

To conclude: both have their pros and cons, but unless you focus mainly on 2v2 Arena, I'd say go Muti/Combat (that's what I am now, see build in my sig).
