I just think Blizzard simply isn't interested in giving rogues significantly more utility-like options without nerfing damage output. They know the rogue community, and they know they'll squeeze every bug/cheat/exploit whatever you wanna call it out of any spec (see weapon swapping) for 3 more dps...or 600. While I believe they wanna see us do top dps in PvE, they're not gonna let us become too absurd in PvP, if we're not already there.

Mavanas, is it possible to rethink about HaT again with Patch 3.3 and or would it be a waste of time? I was thinking about using 8/18/45 with the Tier 10 set.

Nothing is changing in 3.3 that increases the viability of HaT relative to any other spec.

That's not entirely true. This bonus: Gives your melee finishing moves a 13% chance to add 3 combo points to your target, will favor a spec with higher frequency of finishers. HaT has a natural tendency to use finishers more often because of the extra income of combo points, even after the nerf. Even though my gut feeling says that 13% chance is not enough to fix anything for HAT, when I get some free time, I will put that into my last working version of HAT simsheet. Mutilate is also another spec which has a higher number of finishers used, and I doubt HaT will get anywhere close to it in terms of dps despite the set bonus.

HaT now also proccs from poisons. Should this be known already just ignore me (didn't find anything about that, but maybe I should check for more than 20 seconds)
