OK..Cheap shot..get out 1 hemo and one ghostly strike..S&D.spam hemo(unless multiple mobs, then drop evasion and blade flurry) rinse repeat. best leveling spec is combat hemo swords. Cant wait to get Flamed on this!
I'll start. Sounds sucky.

And it doesn't matter if you miss 98% of the time. SnD makes you do damage faster. It makes you get all your misses (and your hit!) in within a much shorter timeframe.
The argument you MIGHT have while leveling is that mobs die to quickly for SnD to really be worth it (half the time you might as well just eviscerate). It sounds like your mobs don't die, so this probably doesn't apply.

You only need 1 CP, then you SnD. The average single target mob dies in between 10-15 seconds during lvling. 1 CP SnD lasts 12 seconds. THis is why you open with Garrote (Lasts 15 seconds and does more damage with glyph), SnD with the CP you just made, then use your most efficient skill to rack up more CP (sinister strike), then eviscerate at 4-5 points. All this is pretty well timed. That's almost perfectly timed to kill a single, regular quest mob.The Garrote has run almost, if not all, of its' duration and the SnD ran it's full duration too. Unless you spec outside of combat, this is your best grinding rotation.
Pull two or more mobs? Cheapshot whichever one you want, SnD (that will be 2 CP, so it's a longer SnD for the adds), blade furry, and if you have it, Adrenaline rush, sinister strike, eviscerate and then switch targets. It is amazing how fast you can kill muliple targets with blade furry and adrenaline rush. I almost can't spam buttons fast enough for it. lol

My "Wat" comment was directed toward him playing with Hemo AND Blade Flurry. Two talents much too far into their respective trees for his build to be anything but terrible.
And yes, I know how to kill a mob as combat. My point (about mobs dying too quickly) was meant for when a mob DOESN'T live for 15 seconds, and they don't necessarily do. The 25 energy from SnD, which gets you a 30% haste over the 8-10 seconds a mob is alive after that point can sometimes be better spent on another SS, or getting your eviscerate off that much sooner.

I think we went off the trail here very early...
The guy was saying it seems like a waste of TALENT POINTS to put in Slice and Dice at level 35. And it is!
When you are levelling (Not Raiding) You do not NEED to put those two points in Slice And Dice, yet you can still use the Skill and get a decent slice and dice going. While enjoying the extra parry rating with the talent points invested.
YES we all..(or most of us) read the roguecraft think tank stuff regarding Rupture vs Eviscerate...but once again, we are talking about mobs and levelling. Not to mention, the very overlooked Eviscerate Glyph...where you will have a 10% better chance to score a crit with Eviscerate.
When you are solo levelling Rupture will NEVER....I repeat NEVER be more efficient than eviscerate.
This includes trash elites in Uldaman, Zul Farruk, Sunken Temple ect... Where a 5 point Evisc with 20% Damage bonus (Improved Evisc) a 10% better chance to crit than rupture (Evisc Glyph)
Rupture is for Bosses.
Orly? Look at this talent build, by lvl 37, and tell me what is better for dps and questing by lvl 37.

Sure, take the 2 points in
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=13875
, but, the next point is going to be in SnD. SnD is one of the best dps talents that you can get for its' lvl. There is no reason to skip it by lvl 36.
If you want to respec mutliple times during the lvling process, be my guest. There are are just too many goodies in the Combat tree to be dipping into the AS tree that early. Also, I have yet to really need 20% more damage on my eviscerate, because the mobs are already dying just fine without it and with my Imp SnD.
Agreed with others though. THis thread has become phail.
