Haven't seen it mentioned yet but Tunic of the Limber Stalker (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=45940) is very well itemized and I've found it to be BiS so far with 4/5 T8.

That's because it's 1% physical hit, not spell hit.

There are two versions of Heroic Presence; one for spell hit and other for physical hit.

For what it's worth, I'd think almost all rogue specs would use Deadly Poison now, since it's been buffed to 12% of AP instead of 8% per stack. And considering how close 4pc T7 is to 2pc T7 + 226...

I think a better approach would be: the new HFB requires .25 energy/second and the old one requires 1 energy per second. It's a somewhat significant DPS buff, probably around 1.5-2%.

You could also switch to a weapon with Instant Poison and then Envenom without clearing stacks, and enjoy the application buff for double IP. I wonder how that would work out.
