Not really. Have you read the rest of this thread?

As opposed to what? Ducking into the water and doing 0 DPS? Versus doing near-100% of it? With Fleet Footed you'd have to be an utter noob to fail the runaround.

You move around her.

Imp SS would be superior here.

Assuming you're doing these at the points in progression where they belong, you don't DPS from the front in these fights. Every time one of your attacks is parried, the mob gets its next attack hasted by 40%. Any attack risks the parry that kills your tank.

You take the same target as the rest of the melee DPS and Expose it, or you just Muti + Evis/Env after the mob is poisoned. Since the white / yellow ratio skews towards yellow when you have to be rapidly swapping targets, it would be silly to play like an inferior Combat Rogue. Play to your strengths.

2% dodge is not basically nothing -- it's a quantifiable and not-insignificant increase in your survivability. I believe cheaper SS *is* basically nothing. The number of situations in which you're about to cap your energy, forced to attack from the front, should attack even though you risk parry haste, and have a 5-stack of Deadly Poison running are staggeringly small, and the benefit you gain by having Imp SS even if that situation *does* crop up is minimal.
