New Rogue with Build QuestionsFollow

Hey guys. I am not new to the game at all, but I have mostly played hunter/paladin. I have played my brother's rogue many times but never leveled one up myself. I started one 2 days ago and love him, he is up to lvl 22 and Im starting to consider talents. I know that I want to be a subtlety/daggers rogue. I am not worried about absolute max dps or bg ownage as of right now, I just love the idea of subtlety (superior stealth, surprise, ambushes, etc.) So I am just wondering what some good subtlety builds would be. Links or your own personal subtlety builds would be appreciated. I also wouldnt mind having cold blood, so if anyone has a good subtlety build with cold blood too that would be nice. I know how to pick talents, but just want to see what you experienced rogues think. Thanks.

Well, I've played exclusively as a Rogue since I began playing WoW in 2004, so I think I can help you out.

When I used Cold Blood, it didn't turn out to be as useful as I originally thought. I say big crits are better for PVP or soloing, but DoTs and DPS are better for PVE. You agro much less if you have a steady flow of damage, instead of that massive, whopping Ambush or Eviscerate.

I suggest that, by level 16, you should have points into MoD + Imp. Sap. You will be a godsend in every party you join with those 2 talents maxed out.

Here is my build.

My idea for this build is that it's all about simplicity and teamwork. With this build, I can start off with Premeditation (2CPs) and apply DoTs as necessary: Garrote (3-4 CPs, 1 DoT), Hemmorhage (4-5 CPs, 1 DoT + Debuff), and Rupture (maxed out, 2 DoTs + Debuff) or Slice and Dice (maxed out, 1 DoT, Debuff + DPS bonus).

Let me know what you think.

u said this is an alt character so hopefully u have gold to unlearn the talens like i did. This build is complete opposite to above, all about huge burst damage....well the best i can do in subtltey. http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/rogue/talents.html?3053031000000000000000050000000000000000000005502031330121003501051

I am lvl 54 rogue and my ambush does 1500K dmg when i crit!!! i love it, it adds 2 combo points a lot, then i dodge a lot of attcks and rack up combo's that way also, then KS and they dead.
