Deep Combat's strength will depend on the new Lightning Reflexes and the "new" talents (Stay of Execution, Unfair Advantage, Throwing Weapon Spec). But I think it is quite clear at this point that Blizzard wants deep builds of all three trees to be at least playable in PvE, given the incoming buffs to Deep Combat, the buff to CttC, and the reorganization of Subtlety. How successful they are depends basically on how well they can tune the trees to stay close to each other in DPS at different itemization levels (such that different gear or weapons might give you a different preferable spec), and whether they choose to include talented utility (such as Blood Frenzy as has been speculated.)
