3.1 SpecFollow

As you said if you gemmed for AP the increase would be a little more. I was unsure of this theory, so I regemmed and had an increase of right below a 100dps.

You should try to pick at least one of Librarian Paper Cutter. The MAEP is higher on the LPC's than the two you have atm, but someone posted that the spreadsheet shows an increase of dps with a Titansteel shanker in one hand(your main hand IIRC)and an LPC in the other.

Right now HaT is doing the most dps in T8 content, with the right group make up, followed closesly by Mutilate.

As for your EoE10 vs. Naxx 10, it isn't that uncommon. Naxx 10 take a lot more time than EoE does, and EoE isn't that hard after you learn the different phases.

Good Luck and welcome back.

Ah, good point. I haven't seen any major changes from my regular websites regarding MAEP rating, yet. I will try to read through some more information to help you out. I will get back to you, unless someone beats me to it.

Edit: I do know that Mutilate and HaT are doing the most dps atm, though.

Ok, Bean after looking around for an hour, or so, I haven't found anything on the PPM changes to poison. However, I just got home and started downloading the new patch. I did notice, under the patch notes, that they changed IP to be applied based off of weapon speed. Thus, making faster daggers still best for mutilate.

As for glyphs, I'm looking at glyph of Mutilate/HfB, and possibly TtT. I might take rupture or SnD after plugging in some numbers, but if you and another rogue have Glyph of Trick of the Trade, that could turn out to be a great profit.

Never been HAT myself, but just from reading up on it, I'd imagine little will change if your group comp is setup correctly. Not really using many combo moves to generate combo points, and only really focusing on keeping SnD/Rupture up with Evis spam in between. SnD/Rupture/Evis would be the top glyphs by far IMO. Not really anything else to use. As far as a rotation, not really such a thing. Just prioritize like Mut had to before with their three things to keep up and keep SnD and Rupture up 100% of the time with Evis spam when you can. Outside of getting jibbed on group crits, the combo points shouldn't stop flowing.

With the poison changes, I'm not 100% certain as to what speed weapons to use or the poisons, but I'd imagine WP/DP with just about whatever your highest DPS weapons are. Speed shouldn't matter since nothing you use will be based off of the damage nor the application rate of the poisons since they're normalized.

If you want to run Mutilate in 3.1:

Go for 51/13/7 spec: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#f0ef0exoVboIuVo0xV0hZxb
Glyphs are: Mutilate, Rupture and Hunger for Blood.
Can swap a point in CQC for Imp. SnD if you find it hard to keep up.

Instant Poison MH, Deadly OH

There was a spec going around using 51/18/2 however requires very tight rotations, which is:

I think I am going to be running HaT and Mutilate for my dual spec, mainly because I have no decent combat weapons and also the gearing/gemming for HaT/MuT is pretty much the same.
