first: 15/51/5 does more (oly a few, but more) dps than 7/51/13.
the rotation anyway is the same, 3-4 SND, 5 rupture, go for 5 combo than if snd is > 12 secs left go evis otherwise snd. that's it.

is there a certain time to pop your cd's, or is it a more, do it when ever you feel like kinda thing. i personally always pop all 3 after blood lust comes up and i use all my trinkets, also what are the best glyphs to use as a combat rogue?

BL is only a haste buff, use it accordingly.

Combat PvE Glyphs:
Sinister Strike, Rupture, Killing Spree.
You should use all of your haste buffs at the same time to get the biggest use out of them. In other words, use all of your haste buffs (Blade Flurry, SnD (duh), Haste Potion) during Heroism/Bloodlust

I've heard musings that the 7/51/13 combat spec is better and lower gear levels as the bonus Rupture damage gives a better increase than the (weaker because of weaker gear/weapons) SS crit bonus. I don't know if this has changed recently, it's just something I read back when I first started raiding, so I started raiding with that spec, and switched to 15/51/5 when I felt I had sufficient gear.

As a combat swords build, your rotation can sometimes be pretty fluid, depending on what buffs you have up and whatnot. As long as you stick to these basic rules, you will be ok.
1) build up to a 4-5ptSnD
2) build up to a 5pt rupture
3) build up to 5pts
4) does SnD have more than 12 seconds left?
5) if it does, 5pt eviscerate, if not, SnD
6) if you eviscerated, go to step 1, if not, go to step 2
for cooldowns, use them together to optimize the effect. So combos like AR+BF are good, so is BF+ KS, but try not to use KS+AR, as you will waste alot of the energy from AR while you are in KS.
KS = Killing Spree
AR = Adrenaline Rush
BF = Blade Fury
in case you didnt know

BF + KS is a waste on a single target.
Not really. It provides great burst damage, while continuing your auto-attacks, and provides a 20% damage boost during that time period. So your auto-attacks during that duration do 20% more damage. I wouldnt call that a waste

This. As long as you don't energy cap its a great combo.
And as long as you spam a few sinister strikes before you hit this combo, you wont regenerate enough energy during the 2.5 seconds of KS to hit the energy cap

Is there a different rotation to be used on bosses and trash mobs? im just curious, i've noticed my dps in heroics isnt really that great unless i pop my cd's on trash as well to further increase my damage done. im thinking on mobs though, shouldnt i evisc, and on bosses just rupture?
