Gear plans clarificationFollow

Just here to make sure iam on the right path with my rogue. A mutilate [i've always been assas at heart since i joined WoW and made my rogue] pve rogue.

in december, my laptop broke and i recently got it back from the service station in the same condition it was when i sent it. I connected my pc moniter to it [the laptops monitor is smashed] and its been working fine since then [effectively turning my laptop into a desktop]. ARound sunday before last, i logged on WoW with a fresh sub at lvl 74 in grizzly still doing the alliance only quests on west side of the maps [hadnt reached my brothers from sentinel hill yet]. last sat i dinged 80 in zuldrak after returning the bear gods power to him. I had not entered the basin, icecrown, borean or storm peaks for any sort of questing yet. I just finished everything in zul, have started on borean for tuskarr rep. On 80, i purchased what upgrades i could from the AH.

I just started heroics yesterday. My hit was 35. found that deplorable [not to mention my dps was stuck at around 1177 in heroics] and did around enough heroics to get 25 emblems in a day and obtained a few items with hit on and gem slots for hit. iam 150-ish now.

This is currently me.> current gear and talents are viewable.

Pre raid Gear plans are.

I would highly recommend you spend the 40 badges for the Mirror of Truth ASAP, not only is it better than both the trinkets you've listed, but it really is one of the best trinkets currently available (right up there with FotFF and Darkmoon Card: Greatness). That and I think it'd be fairly easy to acquire (especially if you have less-than-great luck on drops)

Now this may be incorrect, but from everything I've seen, you're gemming for pure hit. Which may or may not be a great plan, especially if you intend on making your meta-gem work (when you get it). As always, consult the spreadsheet for most accurate information.

Though this may just be my opinion, I really don't think your UI does much more than a stock UI, you have everything in the same places (more or less) and very little is changed up to make you more effective/efficient in combat. Perhaps moving your player and target frames more towards the center for easy viewing and drastically reducing the size of your action bars would yield better results (in both PvE and PvP)
