Single Targets
Ambush
If you’re lucky enough to open up on your opponent in stealth, Ambush should be your first option.
Mutilate
You will be using this the majority of the time. Whenever your not in stealth, you should be spamming it for combo points.
Dispatch
Use when target is below 35% or when Blindside procs from Mutilate.
Slice and Dice
Cast as soon as you can, and keep it up. It should automatically stay up with the Cut to the Chase talent.
Rupture
Try and get as many combo points as possible before using it, and keep refreshing when it’s about to go down.
Envenom
Only cast when you have 5 combo points. It will keep Slice n Dice up.
Multiple Targets
Fan of Knives
If you have a lot of mobs on you, spam this.
Crimson Tempest
Once you get 5 combo points from using FoK, use Crimson Tempest to spend them.
If you’re still having trouble figuring out your Rotation or need a more advanced one, then check out the addon I use called Edge. It will show you how to set-up your talents, what glyphs to use, and detailed rotations for leveling, pvp, and raiding.

Hello fellow WoW players, thanks for checking out my site!
My name is Darrick, I've been playing World of Warcraft off and on since May of 2006. In that time I've done just about everything you can think of. I was there for the AQ gates opening, fought the demons coming through the Dark Portal, and watched Cities get burned down by the Scourge.
If you would like to know more check out the About Me section.
