I discovered a new Assassination rogue guide on Monday, which I've found to be very useful.

In the past I've followed Noxxic's guides, which were helpful up to a point, but I was capping out following Noxxic's instructions.  And I could observe other rogues with the same spec and iLevel out-DPSing Zlinka in PuG raids.  Annoying.

So I did some poking around and found another guide:

This one is subtly different from Noxxic's guide, but the small differences have made a big improvement in Zlinka's DPS.  Some of these differences are tailored to having the 4-piece set bonus (Dispatch grants 2 additional combo points) and the Archimonde trinket (Envenom increases the crit change of Mutilate and Dispatch by 50%).  For me, the two most important differences were not to worry about over-generating combo points because I'm generating so many anyway, and the synergy between Envenom and Mutilate / Dispatch damage.

Anyway -- if you feel that others with your same spec and iLevel are out-DPSing you, keep trying to figure out why!  You may uncover a trick or a synergy you were missing!
