Jesus Tap-dancing Christ It's Been a While...Follow

So I was reading over the latest patch notes for 2.3.2 as I hadn't gotten a chance to read them(been a busy month) and I'm noticing some headway in the previously useless Sub tree(other than the hemo/AR build). It's been quite a while since I've played my Rogue in anything but combat, which in PvE was great, but PvP seemed WAY too immobile. I'm wondering a few things as I'm clearly out of the loop with all these changes.

First, is the Assassination "square" worth it for PvP anymore? With all the resilience stacked on people is crit a good basis anymore? Mainly Malice?

Second, how does this look as far as an arena spec goes for Sub. I'm sure I'll get flamed for this, but I thought a combo of Lightning Reflexes, Ghostly Strike, CloS and Setup would be an easy way to rack up CP's.

I seriously feel like such a noob, my Rogue used to be my main and now he's a farm tool lol. But let me know what's going on these days in Rogue-land.

Edited to fix link.

Very simple.

Anything but combat is more mediocre at everything. Combat is the only way to escape from severe mediocrity.

Malice is still a popular talent, but the assassination tree overall is not. That said, imp sprint and DW spec are great talents and are worth a look. I honestly don't know much about subtlety, as I hate the tree.

I knew Assassination wasn't that great. I tried it back in the day and wasn't impressed and the situational needs for Mutilate is a joke.

I might try Sub for a bit, as Shao says it lacks in everything compared to Combat. I don't see it lacking mobility when compared to Combat. Truly I've been bored with the Rogue since I dabbled in raiding, just wanted to try something different.

It won't be so bad because you've got Improved Sprint.

The problem is you won't do much damage.
