Assassination Rogues Guide 4.1.0

Actually it was in a locked compartment of his bunk inside his room at SI:7 headquarters, but I think we can agree it’s obvious he wanted me to save him the trouble of having it delivered. I’ll skip the parts about his mother and his ranting about getting even with VanCleef; and honestly, “READ THIS AND DIE” scralled on the cover was really just absolute overkill on so many levels.

This guide is intended for level 85 heroic- and raiding-geared assassination rogues. Much of the information will be useful for others as well, but the details may be slightly off. Practically all of this is straight from Elitist Jerks (of course), and I’ve supplied source links for important stuff. I’m clueless about combat, subtlety, and player-vs-player information, so please don’t ask.

Also, if this thread comes across as slightly overwhelming, I suggest you go here first:
