I am currently leveling a
rogue in subtlety (primarily battlegrounds and then dungeon runs with a high level guildie).
I have a simple macro for my stealth action bar: Since you do not yet have all of the abilities in there, I've put a simplified one below it:
/cast Shadowstep
/cast Premeditation
/cast Ambush
/cast Kidney Shot
Level 20-ish:
/cast Shadowstep
/cast Ambush
This will put you behind the targeted mob, then will cast your primary damage talent. If you are subtlety spec, this is your main deal.
Once out of stealth, use
hemmorhage and any available stuns, plus use
Evasion if more than 2 mobs are in the vicinity, particularly if you are attacking a melee class or healer and a ranged toon is focusing fire on you.
Watch your combo points and use
Eviscerate to finish the person off.
If you are getting mobbed, use
Vanish and get clear of the mayhem (I use this macro for vanish):
#showtooltip Vanish
/stopattack
/cast Vanish
/cast Sprint
Gear is also crucial. Stack Agility. Buy pvp armor whenever possible at the faction quartermasters for Warsong Gulch and Arathi Basin portals for your faction. If you have a main that is level 85, buy hierloom gear and enchant it.
I am still levelling my rogue, and have fallen into a groove where I runat-level dungeons (or have my son run me through) to keep my gear up to date, then go into the battlegrounds for the last two levels before I "level out" of that tier.
So, Dungeons from 20-22 or 23, battlegrounds 23-24, then back to dungeons from 25-27/8 and battlegrounds 28-29, etc.
