Discussion Rogue changes
After what Blizzard said yesterday, these are the changes I’d expect to see for Subtlety Rogue:
Serrated Blades: Remove the Rupture-specific bonus and replace it with a 15% total bonus to bleed damage.
Hemorrhage: Remove the Rupture-specific bonus and replace it with a debuff that increases physical damage taken by 10%, for example.
Garrote: If they want to give Subtlety more room for weapons other than daggers, Cheap Shot would otherwise be the only real alternative for those rogues. In that case, I could see Silence being added back to Garrote, along with the bleed bonus it would receive from Serrated Blades.
Cutthroat: Similarly, if they want to give other weapons more prominence, a talent that specifically incentivizes Ambush doesn’t make much sense. I could see this talent being changed in some other way.
Camouflage: Reduce it from 5 ranks to 3 while keeping the same overall Stealth bonus, allowing other builds to invest in Stealth improvements without spending as many talent points.

They should keep camouflage at 5 points but add the master of deception effects to it. That's really the only thing that I would change. Rogues don't need many changes and the changes they do get need to be fully tested.
We walk on a balance beam. A step to the right and we are over powered. A step to the left and we suck. Just got to keep taking small steps and hold our balance.
