So, playing with the Alpha talent generator I came up with this:
http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?rogue#fmghjXl0fditfO9
,9eJ-Oq,11927
You'd be surprised by how comprehensive the utilities this build can bring are:
- Ghostly Strike. 15% dodge for 7 seconds every 20 seconds.
- Evasion. This build provides it with 5 extra seconds of duration and 1 whole minute less of CD.
- Cloak of Shadows. This build reduces CD by 30 seconds and through glyph, gives CoS a 40% physical damage reduction as well. How about that for tanking cooldowns?
- Recuperate. As well as allowing it to regenerate extra health %, it provides a 4% damage reduction... depending on duration, the high combo point generation ability of this build could keep it up indefinitely.
- The new Combat Readiness.
- Generates combo points after dodging or resisting spells - through Setup-, as well as sending an extra attack after a successful dodge -through Unfair Advantage-.
- Preparation gives you an extra Evasion when needed.
- Riposte provides attack speed reduction on bosses.
- Deadly Throw gains an interrupt to pull ranged mobs -- not like you need it considering you'd like pull from Stealth right next to them!
A full "tank" build would provide these passive benefits:
- 6% extra dodge
- 6% extra parry
- 4% extra Stam
- 2% reduced chance to be critically hit
- 4% reduced chance to be hit by spells and ranged attacks
- 50% extra armor.
The only thing this is missing is that extra 4% reduction to critical hits -- maybe it could be achieved using PVP gear? In any case, if unchanged, expect several gimmick Rogue-tanks!

Hi. Stop playing with the alpha talent calculator. It is pointless as it isn't finished yet/has a plethora of obvious fillers that won't go through to live.

we all should've realized that this would happen when that damn talent calculator came out =/
though seems to me if thats going to be the new hemo, then atleast it seems to me blizz realized the old one sucked and needed to be better. though with it doing more bleed damage, seems they may want to have rupture part of sub's rotation? but as also stated its in alpha and far as we all know, hemo could be changed to Hunger for blood talent for all we know.

Hunger for Blood has its days counted.
And I did say I dont expect this to go live anyway, and in case it does, not being uncrittable will still relegate anyone to follow a build like this to gimmickdom.
Nevertheless... who knows! Maybe we will even get more support for the build by accident!

Oh, I was basically goofing around with the rest of the nontanking related talents.
And please, its not like I am absolutely serious about this, I have always loved oddball builds and I like a possibility like this when I see it.
