When i got my heroic Freeding Frenzy and pretty much forced to respec from Combat to either one of the other specs, i went with sublety and never looked back with regret. Only drawback to it for me atm is that my other raiders jokingly complain about my spec since they miss my killer Blade Flurry and that i still have to respec back to combat for heroic Majordomo for handling kitties with that killer ability =3

Anyways, for my personal rotation priorization for PvE i go with:

1st: Rupture. That 16% damage buff from Sanguinary Vein is too good to be dropped for even a half a second. If i get a warning on my SliceAdmiral that Rupture and either SnD/Recup has 3 seconds left, i always pick up Rupture and do a 5 point Eviscerate to refresh it.

Im still not 100% sure if the bleeds from other class's are enough to give us the damage buff but since the talent tooltip doesnt state otherwise, i assume they do. If you have a bleed from another player then Rupture drops down to the 3rd place and is replaced by Recuparate (though it is still pretty hard to let rupture drop with the Serrated Blades talent anyway).

2nd: Recuparate. Free energy is always good yah? Especially when you go spamming Ambush in Shadow Dance, you need to squeeze that last bit of yellow resource.

3rd: SnD. As Sublety this is just a medium sized dmg boost from auto attacks though you still dont want to ignore it.

Pro tip: When your raid is preparing to pull the boss, target the boss and let the pre-pull healing crits fill up your combo points so you can do a 5 point SnD/Recup before the tank pulls. You can always to ask nicely for them to do a few heals if its not full :P

Im pulling between 25-28k dps on any given single target. One time i peaked at 30k in Baradin Hold. Dont take this as swaggering please, this is simply for referance.
