Here's the thing:

Let's say a rogue's WCC is 70%, and that this rogue is at the WCC. That means that they will be avoiding any additional crit on gear. This means their Rupture won't scale as they get better gear, because they're already capping their crit chance.

Combat rogues don't have this issue as often, so they can afford to work on maximizing the value of Rupture.

It is a bit circular, but the basic concept is: Rupture already crits as often as it can for Mutilate (no room to grow) but is already outpaced by Envenom. For combat, a rogue can start pumping agility to bring Rupture up to (and over) Eviscerate levels. The problem with Rupture and a Mutilate build is that Rupture for Mut rogues is already crit capped (since rogues are avoiding crit), and so Rupture has no room to grow.
