Check the patch notes. Imp Backstab is becoming punctured wounds. Punctured Wounds now improves the critical strike chance of Backstab by 30% and Mutilate by 15%.

For Rogues with about a 30% base chance to crit, this means we have something like a 45% chance to crit with either hand (AFTER resilience) when mutilating. Major PVP buff.

Also, elemental mobs will no longer be strictly immune to nature damage. This essentially means you can now poison them (among other things). Pretty good pve buff as it might make mutilate a bit more viable in 25 mans.

All in all, rogues came out smiling this patch.l
