Safe to say with the amount of people that play the game and the amount of people who watch the top performers of each class in each bracket as well as their spec, your build has been thought of and discarded.
After looking, 31/0/30 was actually a build Ming posted about a long time ago right before the HARP nerf before everyone accepted the fact that shadowstep is actually very viable due to the high amount of survivability and control it offers.
As Theo said with the Ashtongue Deathsworn trinket it offers a great deal of burst, but is otherwise very meh.
The rogue who actually coined the build was Telemarketer from my server, but transferred when his guild, Phase Two, sort of broke up.
His 2v2 partner is still active ... http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Perenolde&n=Ownss
Anyway, Telemarketer still wound up going 20/0/41 in the end, to sum up a long story.
Yeah, when Ming posted it, it was actually already being used by a few people in the 2200+ ratings, but it's got a limited amount of viability, as it really needs to be built around a certain comp. When I get my trinket I may spec it for 2s with my brother, but even then, I really doubt that I will.
And yeah, Telemarketer made a video (IIRC) of him playing as the build, which made it popular for a while, like all FOTM builds.
Seems like every time a good rogue posts a video, half of the rogues in the world spec that exact build.
