Reckful-kuns old guild suspended from the whole Yogg Saron fiasco with Exodus, the shadow dance hero transferred to BG9 and in just one week his dual-comp (Rogue/Mage/Priest and Rogue/Ret/Priest) team hit the second spot.

Unluckily, even the man who made shadow dance relevant is no longer playing the spec today, and with the upcoming resilience changes further hurting burst damage across the board, it is hard to imagine ambush/backstab coming back into action any time soon to get cheap wow gold.

"Shadow dance would be a great spec if improved ambush increased ambush damage by 50% instead of 50% crit chance. 25% crit damage reduction makes your crits 50% less effective (+100% damage is now +50% damage), that is why I favor AP by an even bigger margin for 3.2."

And it is hard to argue with the player who stayed with the spec for so long. Having said that, I think Reckful has the best blend of PVP/PVE gear of any rogue right now, can anyone beat his stats as 41/5/25 (with engineering + pyro rocket, which accounts for 100 base AP vs someone who does not have engineering):

On the other side of the spectrum

Litreocola put together a very interesting 27/0/44 shadowstep spec with full agility gem stacking.  The result is pretty fear inspiring, 4236 attack power, 40.74% crit and 33% dodge. That is without any serious Uldular gear.

Subtlety 10% AP and 15% agility scale amazingly well with late expansion gear, and with T9/S7 around the corner, will we see deep subtlety taking a big step forward? Cheat death and shadow step probably still can not match-up to deadly brews double wound goodness and mutilates vastly superior damage per energy, but with stats like Litres it is getting interesting, probably a hemo buff away from going main stream about wow gold.
