I disagree burnzey. You ambush a mage, what's the first thing they do? Nova, of course. You might have took 1k health off them, but you're rooted to the spot.

Now, if you cheap shot, they're stunned for 4s. Stunned meaning you can attack them (unlike disorient, like gouge).

Perhaps it's different at level 60 (which I assume you're at)

[quote]My rogue style: Distract player so they face other direction, ambush crit for 1000 - 1300, initiative spec should give me 2 combo's instead of one, sinister strike for another combo, gouge for combo, backstab for combo, cold blood for 100% crit chance, eviscrate for a 1k crit and dead.[quote]

So let me get this straight:

100 Energy: Just before energy ticks, ambush.
60 Energy: Sinister Strike
20 Energy: You have to wait two energy ticks before you can gouge, which is a good 3 seconds max.
60 Energy: Gouge
Four seconds to recover 40 energy
60 Energy: Backstab
40 energy: evis

Fast yes, but that gap between the SS and the gouge could be fatal. A mage could nova, a warlock could fear, a hunter could feign/freeze.

With my stunlock-esque I always have just enough energy. As I'm fighting people with nearly 2k health (having a measly 1.2k, at level 29, myself), and having a pretty crappy dagger, I've resorted to sinister strike as my main damage (got a good sword-quest-reward *beams*)
