Now that lightning reflexes adds haste, i was wondering how to spec as combat fist/sword.
Something like
this
?
In fist/dagger it adds DPS because it removes filler talents but here it is a bit harder to choose :/

that's not 18% crit loss, it's a 18% crit damage loss, this is not a big deal if you can do 10% more auto-attack.
More Combat potency proc
More Poison Proc
I almost sure that in most case it will be better.
(also one of the very popular combat build right now put only 7 point in assassination.

Currently Fist/Sword is the top combat DPS spec but only by a few points. Now with the change to LR, Fist/Sword will most certainly fall behind to Fist/Dagger.

%10 haste rating is %10 increase in your WHITE damage. 5/5 Lethality is (Your Crit %) x 0.3 / 100 increase in your SINISTER STRIKE damage.

You do know that white dmg puts out more dmg then ss ever will, right? Poisons and weapon enchants will also out dps ss. Its only 3 points in lr, so there still is room for lethality to give you 12% more crit dmg.
Read what I wrote before you damn talk. I think you are talking to wrong person...

I just can't stand, many players hate rogues because of this, thinking rogues are bunch of smartasses and EZ mode. If even this guy can play a rogue, then it is EZ mode! I'M SO ANGRY! RAWR!

Gah.... -.- I was asking how to spec and it turns into a flamewar ><
Btw i wanted to spec fist/sword b/cos my guild hasnt gone onto 25 mans yet so i can only get hailstorm.
If I get WD i could EASILY spec well (im not a noob), its just fist/sword atm has no fillers and im not sure what to remove.

Looking at the buffs at the moment my gut feeling is there's much more to come. Mutilate has been made (argueably) easier to work with, combat has been buffed to be up with Muti damage wise and Mace's has been buffed to make it a worthwhile weapon specialisation.
Compared to other classes etc I think there's probably a few improvements still to come DPS wise.
As far as speccing goes i'd think it very likely that the points will move out of Lethality for Fist/Sword builds and it will depend on itemisation in Ulduar as to what ends up being "top spec".
If they do a good mainhand/offhand sword combo I can see that being a strong spec again or there being points where certain weapons work better with slightly different talents. It IS good to see fist getting some love for the moment though. I'm still stuck with Mace/Sword (simply due to available weapon drops).
As far as the "I can only get hailstorm" goes. Hmmm.... you can ONLY get the best offhand currently in game? Poor u :D
Still waiting for my crack at Calamitys Grasp (OMFG IT SPINNNNNNNSSSS!) and with the changes on the Horizon i'll likely be grabbing a webbed death (tho I got a couple of other fast daggers) just to make speccing up easy.
There's LOTS of changes still to come talents wise I think tho. It seems we had a late/rushed final pass in the wrath beta so i'd expect a fairly major class review during 3.1 testing.

I'd love a Calamity's Grasp and a Webbed Death, but my guild is too small atm :P. WD is only a few DPS behind hailstorm OH, so I'd prefer it to hailstorm, but im forced to run 10 mans XD.

I don't understand why people are going fist/sword, you burn away points that in the long run will come back and bite you in the ass...
It's mainly a gear thing- f. example if you had to choose between
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=37856
as your off hand or
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40491
(best offhand in game atm) what would you choose? Hailstorm is SO much better, so it is worth a few points to be able to dps better.
Edit: Also, atm fist/sword has 0 filler talents so right now it's up there with the best builds.
