Also, I've an idea born from this particular abridgement - STOP WHINING ABOUT AN UNIMPLEMENTED CHANGE.

I asked a question looking for the actual Blizzard justification behind the change on ptr. Everyone is speculating and I'd like actual facts on which to judge this rather than make hasty conclusions based on the speculation that is running rampant. So you're drivel directed at my question is of 0 value and not even context appropriate considering I neither whined nor cried over this ptr change. Reading comprehension is your friend internet tough guy.

To the other people posting, you're speculating like everyone else and I'm looking for a blue post laying out why they've changed hemo on ptr. Not speculation, but an actual statement by blizz so an actual fact based argument could take place. I simply haven't been able to find one anywhere to know what they are thinking. I've sifted through rogue and ptr official forums, looked at some wow news sites that post blues and I can't find anything. Maybe it's buried somewhere on the european site like the ptr notes, I dunno.

For the AR/Prep hypothesis crowd, that combo existed prior to 2.3 only it focused on Sinster Strike rather than hemo. I even had a build with daggers using Backstab in a stun chain that could work quite well if stuns held the target on average geared bg players, but of course was very weak against high resil. 0/40/21, 0/31/30 and other specs you can play around with are pretty much in line with current hemo builds for burst dps. I just don't think as many people had considered it until the chance of season 3 to upgrade weapons in 1 shot came with the change of s1 weapons to honor. There was 0 lag time between weapons which made it an ideal time to try out other specs so many have given this a shot. I think the significance of the weapon upgrades some have gotten has gotten lost in the shuffle. The change from 71ish dps dungeon weapons to 91ish season 1 for 27k honor is pretty massive and very achievable even for the casual gamer. In my battlegroup it seems most chose Mace spec, because the number of mace rogues is gone through the roof on the horde pugs and they are very visible on my server for ally. Anyway, new hemo isn't much different than an old ar/prep spec that will still exist even if this change goes live. Those pvp focused rogues will still be putting out big crit potential swings every ar energy tick.

I was going some sword variant no matter what with s3 and loved being able to pickup group/pvp friendly stealth upgrades(extra sap range is very helpful when coupled with 5 more stealth levels and 15% stealth speed upgrades). Now I'm wondering why this change is on ptr, how likely it is to go live and how will it impact my spec if it goes live since it's servicable, though far from optimal pve/pvp spec. The lack of interaction on the part of Blizzard is really not helping people at all.
