As a mutilate rogue, how often do you even use Eviscerate? I've never tried the build, so I wouldn't know.

If the answer is "not often, if not ever", put the points into Murder and get that extra 2% damage.

If you're focusing strictly on heroics/raids at endgame, murder is the better talents. You're probably either using dual deadly + envenom or deadly + instant and using both rupture and evis in your SnD cycles. In either case, a flat 2% increase outweighs your evis damage. For pvp, imp evis is the only one that matters. In pvp, you'll rarely use combo points on anything other than evis, KS, and deadly throw. But how much you use each depends a lot on what form of pvp you're doing. Basically, it comes down to how much pvp you're doing and how important evis is when you use it. A 2% increase is nice, but your raid isn't going to wipe because you can't put out an extra 24 dps and since there are many factors that contribute to individual dps, you can easily top the damage meters without it. However, the extra damage on evis can easily be ignored if you find yourself doing a lot of group pvp or don't use it much.

I always recommend that no rogue spend points on murder. You may not want Imp Evisc either but I am sure you can find a better place to spend those 2 points than on that microscopic extra damage.

Murder would be a lot better if it were against everything (IE: just a flat 2% extra damage). 2% extra damage is similar to picking up 2 points in precision for 2% extra hit... or 2% in malice for 2% extra crit. Though it may seem small, 2% is still 2%, for low tier filler it's not bad. The problem is that it only works against humanoid, giant, beast, dragon. While this covers a good amount of bosses, it neglects pretty much everything in kara (undead), and other things in the eye and SSC (IE: hydross, void reaver, and IIRC even Magtheridon is a demon).

For a mutilate build you rarely use evis so I would put the points into murder or something else useful
