Before I ask the question and get yelled at: Yes, I did read, and read, and read. If the question has been asked and answered then (A) I missed it or (B) it was answered in such complex terms that I totally don't get it. All I'm asking is for some guidance regarding where my priorities should be. I understand Ag is number 1, what should I focus on from there and in what order of priority? Resiliance, haste, AP, Crit....etc. I'm not asking you to build my rogue for me, I would just like a general idea which direction I should be going here.
Thank you!

Had you read, you'd understand that gearing for PvE and PvP are two different things.
Including that in your OP might help.
Agi hasn't been the #1 gearing stat for a while, just FYI.

I guess that's part of my problem; I enjoy doing both PVP & PVE. I don't want (or need) to be the biggest, baddest rogue that ever walked the planet, I was just hoping to get an idea how i could make it a decently "well-rounded" toon so that I could get enjoyment out of whichever I chose to do on a given day. From what I can see, it seems that I'm going to have to have 2 separate sets of gear/armor for her.
And yes, I suppose I should have included that that was my goal in my original post. Apologies.
Thanks for the update on Agi not being the main focus with a rogue anymore. That's a start anyway....

With dual spec, you have no excuse to not have 2 sets of gear. I swap out about 10 pcs of gear between PvE and PvP (helm, trink, chest, legs, bracers, boots, weapon, neck, belt, ring). With 20 slot bags so easily attainable, you should be able to carry an extra set in your bags without a problem. I currently use a simple /equip macro to single click switch between sets, but soon enough Bliz will implement a gear set app to make things even easier.
Heres an amateur synopsis of what you need to do (assuming mutilate build for both).
PVE - Get to the poison hit cap, or close. ~315 +hit, unless you've got a player in your group that gives you the 5% spell hit inc. Then the numbers around 267 (I think). Expertise is important, there are weights you can find on EJ or in this forum that shows the importance of each stat before and after hit cap is reached. Exp. cap is 26 or so, but alot of rogues go for 22-24 exp. AGI AP are still important, +crit is less so as your raid buffs should be sufficient in that department. If your hit isn't high enough, look for Icewalker on boots (cheap), +20 hit to gloves and bracers, and the yellow +16 hit gems (rigid I think). Titanium weapon chains are cheap and give hit and crit (I think) if you don't have the $ for Beserking, or your weapon isn't good enough to warrant an expensive EC.
PVP - For starters, don't gem for Stam or Resil. The gear you can get from either a.) Honor farming or b.)raping OS or Vault should have plenty of resilience to carry you to the arena, if that's your destination. After that, you'd need to give some specific goals (world pvp, high end arena, bgs..etc).

Er, OS doesn't have any PvP gear.

No, but KT does (he says flexing his dual Sinisters)
But yeah, to add another voice: PvE and PvP are two different priorities and for me has always been two different gear sets. Just nature of the beast(s).
11 KT kills, 0 drops.. I gave up and bought furious weapons ^^
