Cloak of Shadows is not only a PvP skill. I dislike PvP, but use Cloak all the time to remove dots so I can vanish and dump threat.

If you stuff around with the cooldown, then on the Gruul fight you can expect to have rogues shattering people because we won't be able to escape the ground slam effect like we can now.

As for the OP worrying about PvE geared rogues in PvP, I go hybrid on the rare occasions I do PvP, centering on a combination of stun lock and high damage output. I only go up the Subtlety tree high enough for Hemo and Prep. A full shadowstep Build nerfs my PvE-geared DPS way too much for me to be very effective. If I can't take something down during stun-lock, I'm generally kite-fodder.

So as far as I am concerned, this is a PvP-only change. Shadowstep isn't a viable raid build, and there'd be no reason to go that deep in the tree otherwise.
