Improved Poisons worth it?Follow

Has anyone tried a Mutilate spec with and without Imp Poisons and noticed much of a significant difference in proc rate between the two? I understand the importance of a poisoned target with Mutilate, but 5 points seems like a lot for a talent that gives you only a 10% increase in your chance to poison. So does that mean only 1 in 10 mobs will poison more quickly than normal? Wouldn't you rather take a guaranteed increase in damage with Vile Poisons? Or, maybe some other combination of points in this Assasination tree: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=ihe0kE0sizVo to get the 41 points?
Imp. Poisons >> Vile Poisons, if you aren't Combat Mutilate, you can go 4/5 in both.

And if you are Combat Mutilate?
I was Combat until L50 and since I specced Muti (through Imp Poisons) it appears to me (although I have no real data just what I perceive) that I am proccing poisons a WHOLE lot faster than pre-Imp Poisons. The difference between a 30% app rate per strike and 40% for Deadly Poisons seems to be significant. After my initial CS Im nearly guaranteed to have poisions applied for muti and certainly a 5 stack by the KS.
That doesn't mean that Vile is bad. I'm gonna start putting points in Vile once I clean up my spec after the patch and see how things go but I think element is right Imp>>Vile. Think about it like this...is it more important to get more bang for the buck (more damage per poison app.) or just more bangs (greater number of poison apps.)? I can't answer that for you. I asked a question about Vile in relation to Envenom viability as a finisher so perhaps more people are wondering about these poison talents and their worth in general:P
Incidentally I'm now master at all (this rogue is my first character and I only have 20 days played on him and 2 respeccs so I don't know jack and prolly am still L2Play n00b status) but I'm not sure I would bother with the point in Imp. EA. Put it into the Posions :)

If you are Combat Mutilate, then you can put 3 into Imp Posions iirc.
And Imp. Poisons is better than Vile seeing how more procs = more damage in anywhich case. Vile is now only being considered because of the buff to Envenom, which in turn is probably the last finisher you'll use next to Expose Armor in most scenarios PvE or PvP.
