Phase 3 Combat Rogue for BT/Hyjal. 4-piece Slayer's Armor with Cursed Vision of Sargeras. Dual Warglaives of Azzinoth are the endgame — until then, keep strong 1H swords/maces with Mongoose. Priority raid drops: Dragonspine Trophy, Stormrage Signet, Belt of One-Hundred Deaths, Shadowmaster's Boots.
Maintain Slice and Dice, never let energy cap during burn windows, and use Blade Flurry / Adrenaline Rush on command. Trick of the Trade does not exist yet — manage your own threat with Feint / Vanish.
