There is no misconception in my post, hit is not as good as Agility or AP in PvP and is an inferior stat for item budgets.
Edit: Thanks for the additions to mutilate. Although I don't agree with the snare thing for that build, I'll defer to those with more mutilate experience.
Edit2: Also, great spreadsheet. I use it a lot. I think the DPS numbers are misleading though. It assumes you're white hitting consistently, whereas often you stop white-attacks to kill a totem, or blind a healer, you get stunned/kited, or vanish/sap, but those activities don't change your hemos per second (I adjust this number for a few kicks/KSs etc) because you're still regenerating energy. I think it's overstating white DPS. Pretty hard to model this in a spreadsheet since every fight is so vastly different. But I love the sheet because it proves AP is more damage than Agility, but not much.

Fair enough.
I also am not necessarily endorsing a particular meta gem for Mutilate, but rather just pointing out what many successful Mutilate rogues use in practice. I can certainly understand the benefit of 20% snare/root resistance.
As for the spreadsheet, yeah, I was very hesitant to add that combined DPS column, but it's hard to evaluate hit rating fairly without devising some sort of method for relating white and Hemo damage. In my latest personal copy (which I haven't posted yet) I took that column off because I agree it's too misleading. The original intent of creating the spreadsheet was to compare AP and agility gems though, so hopefully it's been useful for that much at least.

Keep above 5% hit (79) at all costs -- that's the amount you need to prevent specials from missing on most players. Other than that, it's usually fine to focus on other stats, as AP and agility are superior damagewise.
