Here's the spec:
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#f0xcZ0gV0xcxordZebfbhMzbV:upLVcz
I'm choosing my glyphs based on the fact that I am looking to increase the passive damage that a typical Sub Rogue outputs, without ruining the ability to either 1. Solo (Most HAT builds.) or 2. Heroic (Most good solo builds are terrible in a heroic or a raid.)
Thus, the intent is to greatly increase white damage, while focusing on Ambush -> Backstab x n (Where n is variable on the length of the fight.) -> SnD -> Backstab x n.
The idea is to keep some of the soloing perks (And taking some of the nice general buffs.) of the Sub tree, while taking some damage from the Combat and Assassination trees.
Glyphs were chosen with the notion of specific situations. (FoK for AR + FoK Spamming; TotT + FoK for nice general tank Aggro; SnD for ease on the uptime of SnD during shorter fights in a heroic.)
As far as soloing, I believe that a simple CS/Ambush -> Gouge/Blind -> BS -> Gouge/Blind -> KS should wrap up any worries,and the the AR + FoK will generate nice saves in cases where typical Sub spec might be forced into Vanishing and repeating.
Thoughts?

If you have trouble soloing at 80 so much that you had to create a special spec just for it then you are probably gonna be a burden in any group environment.
I'd be interested in seeing a parse from you using this spec.
Atm if I saw a rogue trying to get into my group with this spec I would put them on ignore.
That is just my 2 cents.
Read the stickies, pick a cookie cutter spec, win.

Normally, I'd be quick to agree: Stickies >> Anything that an person will devise. However, I'm going to be raiding in a Mutilate spec, thus my desire to make a second Spec that is a bit different, but able to solo better, Play a bit differently, and perform well enough to justify my slot in a Heroic.
However, the stickies don't really even attempt at giving backstab the light of day (With the only real Sub spec listed, is a slow/slow Hemo spec. Which isn't really the goal with this particular build.), which is beating down any notion of easing my costs in the long run. (The idea here, is to have a single pair of weapons, Daggers.)
I can't parse a run yet. as I'm restricted by levels. I'm going to attempt to convince a guildmate to give it a run and report back with a Heroic parse or three. (And anecdotes on soloing with it.)
Mostly, For maximizing backstab, I believe this spec is ideal. Yes, there are nasty positional requirements, but stacked with the Sub benefits, the faster regeneration in Combat, and the CQC + Puncturing Wounds, I believe the spec could be a bursty, high damage solo spec, with the ability to still function in a Heroic environment with some measure of effectiveness.
Have I missed out on any key talents for a spec in that form?
As far as glyph selection goes, There's nothing which reaps benefits over a long time period, can anyone suggest a better combo?
Is Adrenaline rush more important than the final point in vitality?
Thanks again for the input.
