So I went on a heroic run with another guildy rogue 2 days ago. He has around 1400 attack power and at the time I had 1817, unbuffed. So I though to myself, "Okay I'm gonna out dps this **** like crazy!" WRONG!! He certainly out dpsed me, but not by too much and at the end of the instance I was left scratching my head like WTF! I checked his stats again and lo and behold, he had a pretty decent amount of HIT RATING!! I always thought that more attack power would compensate for the lack of hit rating I had, but I am certainly wrong. And I wasn't the only one thinking this, as other rogues on my server thought the same thing. So yeah....to all of you end-game raiding/grinding heroics rogues out there, make sure you have a nice amount of hit rating. Attack power does not compensate for it. Flames incoming!
PS: Anyone know the hit rating cap?

I believe the cap is 363.5(so 364). I hear most rogues benefit gemming AP or agi after attaining a hit rating around 325.
What was the difference between your hit rating and his? Spec may also come into play here.

Is there a PvP hit cap?

5%, so roughly 82 Hit I think... for special anyway.
I think the miss rate for DW is 18% or so in pvp.

Not to be rude, but this isn't news to anyone here. It's pretty much common knowledge that Hit Rating is the most important stat for Rogues in PvE.

Hehe yeah I did know it.....but I was too stubborn to really pay TOO much attention to hit rating and instead focused on attack power (I know I know). The other rogue had I believe 254 whereas I had 138. And his attack power was around 1400 and mine was 1817. Thats being changed immediately.
Does the precision talent make you hit-capped for special abilities, or do you need 5% hit chance beyond that?
I was never sure about that.
Assuming an equal level mob, of course. I realize you'll need 3.6% more on level 73 raid bosses.

Hit is hit. 5% caps you for specials on equal level targets. Where it comes from doesn't matter.
Base miss chances:
5% miss on instant attacks
24% on white hits while dual wielding
