To get back to the topic, I'm convinced to give 20/0/41 a go.
I was thinking that http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=f0eboyZZxMjoMGRoxst would be optimal for a 2v2 with a Disc Priest (5/5 Vile to counter the druids poison removal).
I'm annoyed not to have 3/3 Envelopping Shadows, but I would really not know where to get those three points from.
Any suggestion to improve the build would be most appreciated (with explanation as to why the change is appropriate).
Thanks,

Ok... here's the build I'm currently going for. Some vile poisons and consideration to garrote (which is pretty helpful with high HP targets). A Shs-tweaked garrote will do more damage, I think. Coupled with a poison shiv or two and a 5pt rupture sounds nice.

You're wasting points on useless talents, TBH.
Opportunity has a very minimal impact on Garrote. Something like 300 damage if your AP is 1800+.
You need more Vile Poisons and less Lethality.
You need 3/3 Cheat Death and less Master of Subtlety.
Lose Setup.
Basically, if you want to go Vile/Slieght of Hand ShS, you'll want to spec this.
Personally I hate SoH; I feel it's a complete waste of talents. I'd probably go with 4/5 Camo and GS instead.
And yes, it is cookie cutter, but cookie cutter builds are around for a reason.
If you want me to explain why Lethality is worse (by FAR) than Vile Poisons I will, but most people just take my word for it.
Edit: alternatively, you can take 2 more points out of Lethality to move them to Imp EA if you do arena with other melee classes like feral druids, warriors, or enhancement shamans.

Thanks for the input and suggestions. I understand why you dislike SoH given it's just a 2% chance reduction. Plus the filled up vile poisons is a great idea since this adds more to DPS and it wouldn't have me relying on burst damage-which could miss. Shiv makes up for this. Good call. Now I could mix up shiv and hemo for CP generation! Actually I feel Shiv is faster in that area.

The point of Vile Poisons isn't damage. It's dispel resist.
Shiv should only be used if your opponent doesn't have Crippling poison on them, or Crippling poison is about to tick off.
