I'm not quiet sure what to do with my rogue, I haven't played her in awhile and it seems like I don't really know rogues anymore. I just want to get to 80(And have fun while doing so) then pvp my butt off(While also having fun)
Any idea on whats a great and fun leveling spec, as well as a run and good pvp spec? Either would be greatly appreciated, also maybe some advice on how to use the specs given?

I'm level 65. I got about 60 free levels from recruit a friend though I've played previous rogues up to that level. Anyway I was using Mutilation, my favorite spec but they changed it a lot. Either way I did read the guide but from what I can tell I either read the wrong one or its all about instance/raid pve or pvp which are both nice for future use but I mainly need a good leveling spec as stated.

7. Leveling
Leveling has changed a bit since the release of 3.0, and in this section I will lay out a few pointers to get to 80, where the game starts. The thing to remember is that leveling into any talent tree will ultimately get you to 80. It will get you there at different rates, and you will play a different style, but you'll get there.
Focus your itemization on Agility and Stamina at the early stages, with the inclusion of Attack Power once you hit the later levels. Be sure to do the poison quest chain as soon as possible, (
Alliance
/
Horde
) as well as training your Lockpicking, First Aid, and Cooking as you go.
7.a Leveling Combat
Build
Combat is still the most efficient tree to level with as it provides you with the least downtime as well as sustained DPS combined with the situational burst damage to take down several mobs at a time. Be sure to spec all the way down the Combat tree first before making your way into the other trees. Your rotation is fairly simple. Open with Garrote, cast Slice and Dice, use Sinister Strike to build combo points to five, and Eviscerate. You should be using dual Wound Poison on your weapons.
7.b Leveling Assassination
Build
or
Build
Assassination will hurt a bit at the early levels due to the positional requirement of Backstab, which is your main combo point generator until you get Mutilate. It is recommended that you wait until level 50 before playing an Assassination build, but if you are willing to stick it out from the start, be sure that your first five points go into Dual Wield Specialization before heading into the Assassination Tree. Your rotation is a bit different here. In the early levels I would recommend that you open with Cheap Shot to keep the mob locked down, immediately cast Slice and Dice, followed by a Backstab, Gouging your opponent to reposition and wait for energy rengeneration, and repeat the process to five combo points and Eviscerate.Post level 50, it is similar to Combat rotations. Garrote, Slice and Dice, Mutilate to five combo points, and Envenom. You should be using dual Wound Poison until you get 4/5 into Improved Poisons, switched then to Dual Instant Poison. After you get Mutilate, change your off hand poison to Deadly Poison.
7.c Leveling Subtlety
Build
Definitely the least efficient route to 80, but some will argue its the most fun. As with Assassination builds, make sure you fill out Dual Wield Specialization before going into the Sub tree. Rotation is pretty much identical to Combat Builds, except you will replace Sinister Strike with Hemo once you've trained it. Also,if you've chosen to pick it up, you should add in a Ghostly Strike after you Slice and Dice. Dual Wound Poison is still your best bet here, and that won't change all the way to 80.
There. Spoon fed. If this doesn't help you I don't know what will.

Killing mobs as mut with stunlocking means that for one-on-one targets, you take far less damage. This means less downtime bandaging, eating, whatever. It also means that if a second mob comes along, you blind them while you're working on the first mob (mouseover macros work wonderfully for this).
Cheap Shot -> Mut -> Mut -> Kidney Shot -> Mut -> Mut -> Evic -> Dead.
For killing world mobs, I typically keep wound poison on both weapons, just to "guarantee" that they're poisoned for the extra 20% damage from mut.If you're just going to be leveling, get the Evicerate glyph and probably evasion. The only reason for the second is for those "oh @#$%" moments - 5 more seconds of dodging can help a lot.
Also - if there are two things you're dealing with in combat - how do you deal with them anyways (aside from popping blade flurry every time it's up)? Sap and blind are your friends here.

Thanks to everyone else with the help. and who were nice about it, it really did help. Oh as for that topic not helping? The advice is generaly Ok I guess but the specs don't make a lot of sense and it doesn't explain the spec so much as to why they chose certain talents and some of the things they do say doesn't make much sense to me, which is why I asked here.
As for what I'd still like help with, a spec would really help since i'm not really sure what's good for muti or not anymore and on a curious note, how is Sub? I use to like it as well but its damage back then wasn't the best, though still fun to play.
