Yup. For a rogue, your only downtime will be healing up. So to minimize downtime, maximize your avoidance by maxing dodge/parry and timing stuns. Once you get BF, killing goes a lot faster. SnD is a great finisher no matter what level you are, but while leveling, usually only dump your openers points on it (this is assuming you're not daggers, but why would you for leveling?) For leveling purposes though, I wouldn't go more than the 31 points into combat. Once you reach AR, start putting points into the assa tree (malice/ruth/leathality are hot). If you're with a healer, those should probably be what you go for first until you can reach the lower combat tree.
