ilvl 645 sub rogue here with 23-26k dps after boss is dead
45-55k dps first 30 sec.
all single target.
Useful talents:
Shadow focus ( free ambush )
Shadowstep ( get in position after knockback etc to keep uptime dps )
Mark for death ( I'll explain why )
Shadow reflection ( that's why )
Before boss starts, you will have 5 combo points ready up if there's a kind healer to do a hot on someone. ( Honor Among Thieves )
You start out with 5 combo Slice N Dice
Ambush , hemo, 5 combo point Rupture
wait for ~70 energy and then a proc trinket should be triggered by now. If you have an on use trinket use it in this macro:
( trick of the trade on tank before doing any of this )
Code
#showtooltip Shadow Dance
/cast Shadow Reflection
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast "trinket if have any"
/use Draenic Agility Potion
Then you have 8 secounds to do as much damage as possible, so the reflection can do the exact same afterwards leaveing you with a HUGE burst
you do this:
Ambush Ambush 5 combo point evis
Ambush Premeditation 5 combo point evis
Mark for death + 5 combo point evis
Code
#showtooltip Marked For Death
/cast Marked for Death
/cast Eviscerate
And then you go back to keeping up Hemo, rupture and slice n dice.
Use vanish to get a free ambush and refresh the 10 sec damage buff you get afterwards
Use preparation for a free vanish + ambush
( use it when premeditation is ready )
If there's 10 sec left cooldown on shadow reflection and shadow dance is ready... wait those 10 sec and combo them together...
have fun
Thanks a bunch for the detailed rotation.
I'm at ilvl 641, and was only pulling 13-15k dps.
After following your rotation, I consistently pull at least 17-18k dps, and regularly pull over 20k on non-movemet related fights.
My biggest problem was that I kept trying to keep rupture up, and never really used premed / vanish cds.
Now I just need to work on my movement dps, and sustained dps. After I pop all my cds, I end up dropping quite a bit, heh.
