For the first 71 levels of play I was an Assassination/Sub Rogue. For the most part leveling was pretty easy. Usually consisted of stun lucks and mutilate spamming.
Well just today I decided to take combat for a spin. All in all I enjoy it. I took a raiding build and messed with it ever so slightly (and to with 8 talents short being a level 72).
It has me wondering... how exactly do I level as a combat rogue? Do I mainly just let stuff hit me and beat on them? Do I still stunlock?
What about these nifty talents that increase parry and dodge and give me extra strikes when I do dodge. In a raid or 5 man I can see how these aren't as useful because if I'm playing right I won't be taking an hits...but what about for solo play?
Are talents like Riposte, Deflection, Lightning Reflex, and Unfair Advantage have any worth in putting points into? Where should I take points out?

I'm sticking with daggers for now as I have two merciless daggers with mongoose that are far superior to any of the Northrend swords I've ran into so far. Should I go into swords/fists/maces later on?
Any advice would be appreciated.
