Im a 67 Ass rogue, leveling is getting a pain because everything does so much damage, a single fight can lower my health over 25%! I need a good rotation that minimises damage taken,
(Btw my gear IS up to par)

What exactly are you doing? Running up to mobs and smacking them? If your gear is up to date and you start fights from stealth (primarily with Cheapshot) you really shouldn't be taking any damage from mobs... they ought to die before or just shortly after CS wears off as long as they're level-appropriate targets. If there's more than one mob, try to use a little bit of crowd control before you start instead of just attacking everything at once.
Rogue is all about picking and choosing your fights carefully. You can't just run in and swing away like a plate wearer or even someone who can heal themselves, you actually need a little bit of forethought which is what I love about the class. If certain mobs are doing too much damage to you, search around and find a target that's easier for you to manage.
If you can't kill mobs within a Cheapshot, I'd pick targets that are a little lower in level or health. Even if they give less exp you can kill a lot more in a shorter amount of time without having to stop to rest every other fight so it the long run it's a lot more exp.

Im supposed to kill mobs withing 4 seconds? how exactly do I do that?

You don't exactly have to kill them before CS wears off, but if your gear is up to date I can't imagine them living long enough after a CS to take off 1/4 of your health like that unless you're overhunting. While I was leveling my rogue I didn't exactly keep my gear in check, but I was still killing mobs fast enough to chain kills without losing too much HP.

Ok right now I CS, then mutilate, then Ks, then Mutilate, Mutilate Evi, what rotation do YOU use?

While I was leveling I used more or less the rotation you're using now. I can't for the life of me figure out, how after a CS, KS, three mutilates, and an eviscerate, your target is still alive and more importantly hitting you enough to shave off 1/4 of your HP.
Usually if a rogue is getting beat around like that it means you probably shouldn't be fighting what's killing you until you level up a little more. Like I said before, you cant trade blows like a plate wearer so you need to be a little more systematic in your target selection.

the problem is the time it takes to do this. the whole fight takes like 11-13 seconds

Even if the fight takes 11-13 seconds, between Cheapshot and Kidney Shot the mob should be incapacitated for the majority of the encounter, so if they're
still
taking 25% of your HP in a single fight against one mob you need to find something easier to kill because you're likely overhunting by a lot. I really don't know what else to tell you because the problem doesn't sound like your rotation to me, it sounds like you're trying to level off of something you aren't ready for yet.
