Orc is better if you are a combat rogue due to the free axe expertise that comes with it. Otherwise I suspect troll racial comes on top due to haste scaling but it's going to be really close anyway.

Rupture benefits more from raid buffs then envenom(specifically mangle and trauma). That's why optimal unbuffed dps rotations are not the same as optimal raid buffed rotations.

One of the reasons why Ruthlesness might show up as a dps loss is because of the ip/ip setup using 5 cp finishers. Meaning with ruthlesness you get alot of wasted combo points.
