hemo strat soloFollow

hey guys, my rogue is a decently geared S1 rogue, with a standard ShS hemo spec. I have been watching strat solo'ing vids where all the rogues are a standard combat spec. Im just wondering if ShS hemo is viable in soloing start seeing as you occasionally get a large group of mobs running your way. Looking for a couple comments or maybe a few pointers from rogue with experience in my situation.
