raid dps after patchFollow

So I've been following the wotlk dps forum over at EJ pretty consistently trying to detirmine what I should do following the patch, but now it just seems so cramped up that I can't really find anything without scanning back through 20 pages of random info. Even that though I can't really get anything from since its spread apart by pages of crap.

More or less though I've picked up that while muti is better unbuffed dps, combat swords pulls ahead fully raid buffed.

Can someone confirm or deny these claims? Or start a discussion.

I personally would love going mutilate while still min/maxing so I'm almost hoping Blizz will buff it at the last second.

Yup. Only to add that, right now (and this is likely to change), fast/fast is doing slightly better than slow/fast. But we need either more fast daggers in the WotLK loot tables... OR they'll "fix" fast/fast (5-bucks says this).

Combat and Muti are both very close in theoretical DPS at the moment. Which makes me happy. Muti is fun =D

You may consider moving those 2 points in Endurance to Imp. Sprint. But yeah, looks right on track.

While on the subject of builds, I was looking at vul's spreadsheet and a 51/3/7 build is about .8% better than a 51/5/5.. It's not much but it's enough that I'd throw it out there.

So I'd be rolling with this build http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?talent=f0ef0exoVboIuVo0hZxb and using a 5en/5r rotation

Any thought or suggestions?

Sorry but that is terrible advice imanohealu. I have yet to see any decent raiding rogue not take Relentless Strikes. It's one of the best talents we have, period.

The build you linked XxwrathofcarbunclexX looks pretty good. Last beta build seems to favor 2 points in Opp over DWSpec, which to me is counter-intuitive, but the numbers don't lie. I'm looking forward to doing some tests on the differences right before the patch. I'll try to remember to post any interesting results here.

One thing I notice during my last round of tests in beta was that Vigor actually helped a bit (I took the point from Imp Poison). It's basically adding 10% to your resource pool and seemed to help me keep cycles even when scoring a below average number of crits for FA. It could have been my lack of experience with complex cycles, so take it with a grain of salt.

Also note that some rogues are taking TtT over Master Poison for personal DPS boost. But that's more completely explained on the EJ thread for WotLK DPS theorycraft.

Cheers.
