Also agreed that TPS is less relevant for rogues than tanks or DPS warriors.
But as for whether TPS it's useful to model, I continue to think it. To give just one example, I'd be insterested in comparing the efficiency of feinting every X seconds versus using anesthetic poisons. Both reduce threat, but both come at the cost of reduced DPS. But which is more efficient? And how do points in improved poisons, vile poisons, and the poisoned weapon's speed influence this? Modeling TPS would help answer those questions. True, rogues have many tools at their disposal to not have to worry about threat. But for those occasions in which they do, it would be nice to know which choices reduce threat the most efficiently. Some choices are obvious (salv vs. might or kings), others (feint vs. anesthetic poisons) are not.
But I feel like I'm beating a dead horse here (unsuccesfully, it seems), so I won't push the issue further. I'd hate to hijack was has to be the most informative and intelligent rogue forum out there. Carry on.
