Thanks for the reply, Sagerix.
Considering that you're concerned with PvE, I'm not surprised that you're staying 41/20/0, however, all I really care about is having the best spec for PvP. I still feel that I'll need to take up dirty tricks; it's just too useful to pass up. However, I'm not sure if serrated blades > 5% hit.
As far as him speccing demonology, that's actually something we talked about; however, we've ultimately decided against it, for now. If he were to spec demonologist, he would lose improved Howl of Terror, which we both feel makes up for his lack of durability. We're still not sure if eventually we'll feel that 20% mitigation would be more useful, but for now, if we do things right, we feel comfortable with how much we can control our enemy.
I really agree with you on the issue of gems. It has also been my experience that every team will go after him first; it is rare for me to notice otherwise. Taking that into account, considering how much hp and resilience BG/Arena gear will give me, along with the healthstone I use, one would imagine that I have enough durability as a rogue to use more offensive gems. However, all the rogue/warlock teams I've seen that made it into the top 20 of the 2v2 arena ladder have used stamina gem; that makes me think that they might know something I don't. They could also be simply following the trend, but I don't know; considering their rank, one would image that there is some thought behind that choice.
