My Rogue is in my sig. I recently got my 2nd piece of T4 (finally!). I wanted the head, but the shoulders dropped first, so until I get the head and swap back to my old shoulders this is where I'm at.
My spreadsheet (raidcal) is telling me to use a 1s/5r rotation. This is nearly impossible for me. At the start of a fight, MAYBE, when i start with full energy. Even then, only if I get some very nice RNG and get extra energy from combat potency and the like. I can pull off about one cycle before I can't keep up.
If I'm unlucky, sometimes I only have 2 or 3 CPs built up for rupture before I'm supposed to be using SnD again.
What's happening? Is the spreadsheet wrong? Another rogue in my guild told me that 1s/5r is possible, it just takes practice, but I dont see what exactly there is to practice. It's not like I can practice energy pooling after a cycle... because I dont even have time to finish one to begin with.
Help!

Looking at your gear, I can find nothing wrong. Either you're HORRIBLY unlucky with ruthlesness (i.e. not proccing at all), or it's most likely error on your part somehow.
I've got two pieces of t4 and I can get away with 1s5r most of the time. When I can't, 2s5r.

Well, so far I've only done Mag's and part of SSC with my new set bonus. I think I've been in enough encounters now to rule out unluckiness. Unless I somehow have been going for over an hour of time in combat whilst staying under the average number of procs for energy/ruthlessness :p.
But I can't think of any kind of error I even *could* be making. If we assume full energy, from out of stealth (so no deficit due to garrote at the start), I can do probably one cycle. From then on it just doesn't seem to work. I use the energy as it becomes available, first hit and immediate SnD, then as the energy comes in I use SS, until I have 5 CPs and over 25 energy for rupture. By this time either my SnD has already dropped, or if it hasn't its at < 2 seconds. If I dont get the ruthlessness proc, I'm dead in the water, as I'll need a tick of energy before I can do an SS, and then more to get energy for the SnD.
I haven't really walked through the timing yet myself just to assure myself its possible to fit in enough SSs and stuff in the 12 seconds I'm within the SnD window, but it obviously is or this wouldn't be the recommended rotation.
Is it simply that Ruthlessness NEEDS to proc? And if it doesn't then we lose our rotation? That doesn't seem proper either, because a 60% chance can't be relied upon to happen every time (quite obviously).

I think you should start with 2s5r until you get used to the new set bonus.

Remember too, that that cycle assumes 100% on-target time. Any movement or halt in DPS will change it. Take KidB's advice, he's European, so he must be right.
