I'm using http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=f0eb0xZMgVbx0xoru0gRtx (only have 8 in assassination atm due to lvl)

Pretty good build for Fists. My weps atm are Borean Smasher and Drakonid Arm Blade. (lvl 73)

Pushing 925-1050 dps in dungeons, and questing is just as smooth as a Combat Swords build. Fists sepc tends to be criticized a lot by ppl, but if it's your playstyle... then go for it and out dps them. =P

In dungeons I usually use this one-

Garrote, SnD, SS till about 4 CPs, SnD again, then SS till 4 CPs, and Evis. On bosses tho I throw in a 4 point Rupture. It's basically the same as Combat Swords, but a few more crits. Also, on multi-mob pulls (usually 3 or more) like to pop +AP trinket, Blade Flurry, and Killing Spree.

For soloing/questing, I either use the above rotation but just keep the first SnD, or the generic stun lock.

I only use 4 CPs because of Glyph of Sinister Strike. Atm I'm at ~30% crit, and with Death Knight's Anguish I get up to about 35%, and if there's a Feral Druid in the group that's another 5% crit, leaving me at 40%. So needless to say the glyph has a rather nice proc rate. If it procs when I only have one CP slot left, it's wasted. So instead I use a 4 point combo move (it's not that much less in dps), get a Ruthlessness proc, then a glyph proc an I'm at 3 CPs. If the glyph procs again, it's all well and good. If not, I'll use another 4 point combo move.

I should have said "4+ CPs" in my above post though. If you can get 5 off of a CP gen proc, go for it. But if you're at 4 just use a combo move. It's more efficient to your dps in the long run.

This is especially true if you ever want to spec Mutilate, as the crits off that add 3 CPs. Sometimes you'll get a double crit and be at 5 CPs, sometimes Ruthlessness procs, and you crit with Mut, leaving you at 4 CPs. Or nothing procs and after 2 Muts you're at 4 CPs. Waiting for the 5th CP takes up time that you could have done with something else, like a 5k+ unmitigated Envenom crit.

It has been shown that as Mutilate one should go beyond the 4 combo points & Mutilate again even if it wastes a point for several reasons, most of which probably dealing with the difference to Envenom.
