Raiding Sub also has a LONG ramp up. And high upkeep.

ShadowDance is also an incredibly lackluster DPS CD. Backstab crits are hitting just as hard as Ambush crits. The real difference is with talented Ambush you'll see 100% crit (I've yet to see a non crit Ambush). ShadowDance needs retooling if it is to be a PVE DPS CD.

Keeping up the Hemo debuff is another issue. It's just one more thing to juggle in a spec that is already juggling a lot. I wouldn't mind doing all this if the DPS warranted it. But really, it doesn't.
