In addition, HAT is a deep Subtlety build. The playstyle of Sub is very different from other specs. It's not for everyone. I'd actually suggest that rather than going Combat and then having to learn a completely different way to play at 80, try leveling with a Sub build. Instead of Garrote, SS, Eviscerate, try speccing into Improved Ambush. That becomes a huge opener, often leaving mobs with half their health right from the start, and you already have 3 or 4 combo points. Hemo becomes your combo point generator instead of Sinister Strike.
Some people maintain that a combat build is faster, but I honestly kill mobs in about half the time that it takes other players. It's to the point now that I Shadowstep-Ambush-Eviscerate and the mob is often dead with no other attacks needed. You might have a little downtime as you re-stealth and wait a few seconds for Shadowstep, but it's not bad at all.
When you get high enough for Shadowstep, you'll probably never play another build. It is very fun. Not sure what I'd do without it. I'll miss it should I ever go Mutilate :(
Here's my raiding HAT build. Sometimes the glyphs don't display correctly. They should be Hemo, Eviscerate, and Cloak of Shadows. Actually, I pulled this from the Armory so I don't know if it's 100% accurate. It's close, though.

my rogue was the the first char i created.Hes level 80 with some decent gear.What i noticed is that rogues need skill to play.After playing my rogue for 4 months i got level80.Then 3 weeks lateri mastered the mutilate tree.I top out around 3400dps with Half good / Half bad gear .
Now back on topic.I leveled Assasination,from start.I had some hard times since i refured to pick up combat or sublety.But i got used to a unique rotation.All went super once i got Mutilate.Btw for leveling if you plan on going assasination and you cant get mutilate.Then take Improved Gouge 3/3 and backstab.Bastab crits arent so good as Ambush but you can still try after you miss or do any faulter and get caugh by stealth.
My top suggestion would be to do what you like.Play the rogue how you want and enjoy.,it is a game after all :).
