Original Post:

I would call this a medium level question, that I am hoping will have a simple answer.

I have been a combat swords rogue (armory link) for about a year, and was doing okay in my limited 10 man experiences in BC.

Along comes Lich King and I'm now a Fist/Dagger rogue with [Greed] and [Webbed Death].

I also have [The Fleshshaper] and [Librarian's Paper Cutter] to throw around.
Issue:

After modeling my current gear in Mutilate vs Combat Fist/Dagger, I decided to switch to Mut given my weps (MH [Webbed Death] OH [Librarian's Paper Cutter]) and my personal dps tests in ORG run contrary to my modeled results. I'm doing almost identical 2060 dps each spec (poisons only, no consumables or buffs) with a slight occasional boost to mut in the neighborhood of 100 dps or so. I had significantly better dps with the 1.4/1.3 than 1.8/1.4 despite the increase in dps the latter offers. My glyphs for Combat are Sinister Strike / Slice and Dice / Rupture. I replaced Adrenaline Rush with Rupture because I'm not sure how much increased DPS the 1 minute cut on Killing Spree gives me on a raid boss, or if that bug will last beyond the next patch. With Mut my glyphs are Slice and Dice, Garrote and Rupture.

I'm pretty sure my cycle is optimal, but everyone on my server tells me that Combat is the highest dps spec of the two. The amounts of conflicting information I'm receiving are driving me nuts, so maybe you guys could help offer a consensus? I generally follow the Idiot's guide here and do DP/WP for Combat and DP/IP for Mut.

I am also not interested in speccing HaT, as I am not frequently grouped with other HaT specced rogues and have found it to be lackluster in my situation solo and in 5-10 mans.

Any help is appreciated, Thank you!
