If you do not have to cast a shock and can stay in your place: stick to lightning bolt. LB is more damage, gives you mana and stacks charges on lightning shield to boot.
If you have to move, then casting earth or flame shock is a good idea, the elemental thread has some guidelines for this, I think. (Or maybe I've seen it on Totemspot.)
Use frost shock only if you need to slow your target.

It will be interesting to see how the bump in shadow damage will play out in terms of RNG. RNG may end up haveing a larger impact on our dps than before with the decreased damage output on our pets. One of the small reasons hunters and Unholy DK's did so well early on regardless of skill was the fact that the pet contributes sustained dps on a fight when we ourselves had to avoid mechanics.

I'm not sure that come patch time this will be the case anymore. To be honest, I have no idea what numbers hide behind going into calculating haste vs. mastery, but if infact haste is rated as low as it it only because it causes us to have bigger mana problems, then this upcoming patch is going to make us rethink everything. Mastery is getting buffed AND mana costs are being reduced.

I personally will keep mastery prioritized over haste after the soft cap, unless someone can come up with some numbers on the PTR at the moment to tell me otherwise.

Exemplar, in the patch notes they've announced new enchants for bracers, one of them being 50 str. This would put the bonus from Leatherworking at an extra 80 str, tying it with Blacksmithing, Alchemy, and Enchanting.

I believe the updates to the patch notes indicate that haste will have little to no affect on both Crusader Strike (and Sinister Strike), making haste our worst secondary stat by what I think should be a significant margin.

Blink has always worked that way, you could blink back on archimonde when you were thrown into the air, on LK hc when you got hit by shadowtrap or you can jump from anything and blink when you're close to the ground and you'll land on the ground.

I think the part you're referring to concerns Hunters and CS and SS respectively stand for Cobra Shot and Steady Shot (or Serpent Sting, Hunters have too many "SS").

I'd say second best after volcano for all three specs, but I have no actual proof to back this out.

Thanks, now, let's go try

Running the numbers on the new site gives me (with my relatively weak gear maximized for BM output) the following with full raid buffs>

BM---19131 dps
SV---18120 dps
MM---18079 dps

While I do have a lot of Mastery reforged into Hit Rating, the stats from gear are exactly the same for all 3 specs. I like the numbers but I sure don't expect it to stay that way.

Oh--pet for BM is a Spirit Beast because I love the self heal and a Cat is used for the other two.

Wow you're just trying to insult me now. I wonder if you even play a rogue.

I on the other hand have 377 days played time on my rogue so I got some feeling.

To me it FEELS like revealing strike should not share the global cd

It's not like it's uncommon to do this. I play a warrior as well and if rvs can be used like heroic strike it would just be perfect to fill the gabs.

It would make playing a combat rogue way more interesting and exuberant.

Faster and more fluent finishing moves wich is what it's all about isn't it.. Or is it about doing melee auto attacks and poison damage..
