For those who prefer mutilate

Here's a few tricks that you may already know to optimize DPS.

Spec:
51/18/2
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#f0ec0egoVboIuVo0xV0xcZ0b:IpT0cm

Gems:
red/blue: 20AP/10 haste in most slots.
yellow: 20 haste
JC gems: 34 haste
+10 all stats to activate meta

You need 2 offhands. You put deadly poison on one and insta on the other.
Weapon swap macros:

hit this one when you log on (initialization macro)
/run ws=CreateFrame("FRAME","WS")u=UseEquipmentSet function g()d=nil for i=1,40 do n,_,_,s,_,_,x,c=UnitDebuff("target",i)if n=="Deadly Poison IX" and c=="player" then d=(x-GetTime()>5 and s==5) end end if d then u("IP") else u("DP") end end

this turns weapon swapping on/off
/run if not aso then ws:RegisterEvent("UNIT_COMBAT")ws:SetScript("OnEvent",g)DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage ("Autoswap On")aso=true else ws:UnregisterEvent("UNIT_COMBAT")DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Autoswap Off")aso=nil end

you'll need 2 item sets in the blizzard itemrack, one named IP and one named DP

For anyone that can't read the code, here is what it does:
- You target something that is in combat that doesn't have a 5 stack of your deadly poison, it swaps to the DP set
- When you hit 5 stacks of deadly poison, it'll swap to the IP set
- When DP has 5 seconds remaining, it'll swap back to the DP set
- When DP is refreshed, it'll swap back to the IP set

You have to do nothing. The only thing on your end is the annoying GCD's caused by the swaps.

I'm currently the only Mutilate PvE Rogue..and honestly I haven't heard anything super positive with using a haste build. I've been doing a fair share of reading up on improving my DPS (the Eviscerate build seemed to really be highly thought of), but never once has a haste build been the top suggestion, many even saying stacking haste is completely overkill and doesn't do anything significant to the DPS output. I still read stacking agilty being the best route to go.

I can see the possible prospect of it after 3.3 where Mutilate will benefit a great deal from heavy MH/OH, but currently I don't see the build super viable. Might be worth looking into after the patch though, I'll make note of this post and refer back to it if I decide to give it a go.

Actually, I was surprised when I saw the build.
This build compete with (and even beat) mace combat rogues. (10k dps with BIS)
The haste improve poison damage.

Try the macros. The weapon swapping is automated. You have nothing to do.

In my case, I'll ever spec in the highest DPS built that I can.
I prefer combat, but I go mutilate when I have the gear for it.

*rubs chin thoughtfully* Interesting. A new way to give Sid a run for his money? I like it.

I'll definitely give the weapon macro a try..lord knows my bank's full of spare daggers.

An addon that does it

It will scan your gear for items with correct poison and it will do an intelligent weapon swap.
