Official 2.0.3 Rogue changes...

Ok so my timing was a bit off - 2.0.3 kicked in post weekly maintenance as the *official* class changes for the rogue class are:

Class Changes:
• Due to various talent changes, Rogues will have all talent points refunded.
• "Evasion" (Rank 2) now reduces the chance that ranged attacks will hit the Rogue by 25%, reduced from 50%. It is now available at level 50.
• The "Cloak of Shadows" cooldown has been reduced to 1 min, from 2 min. Now a trainable ability at level 66.
• "Shadowstep" (New Subtlety Talent) attempts to step through the shadows and reappear behind your enemy. Your next "Ambush", "Backstab" or "Garrote" ability is increased by 20% and lasts 10 sec. This is only usable while stealthed.
• "Premeditation" (Subtlety Talent) has had its range increased to 30 yards.
• "Preparation" now only resets the cooldown of the "Evasion", "Sprint", "Vanish", "Cold Blood", "Adrenaline Rush" and "Premeditation" abilities.
• "Wound Poison" now causes damage and reduces all healing by 10%, stacks up to 5 times.
• The Cooldown for "Blind" has been reduced to 3 min, from 5 min.
• There is no longer a random chance the effect of "Sap" will end (i.e. removed the heartbeat resist check). The effect will still end early when the target is damaged.
• Each rank of "Weapon Expertise"now provides 5 weapon skill.
• "Surprise Attacks" now increases the damage from "Sinister Strike", "Backstab", "Shiv" and "Gouge" by 10% instead of 8%.
• Resisted spells will no longer break "Stealth"/"Vanish".
• Combo points added to a target should not be reset until you add a combo point to a different target.

Items:
• The energy gained from "Thistle Tea" now decreases with levels past 40 :(

Bug fixes:
• Updated the tooltip on "Cloak of Shadows" with the additional line, "Does not remove effects that prevent you from using Cloak of Shadows."
• The rogue Assassination Talent "Quick Recovery" will no longer refund energy back to the Rogue if a finishing move is partially blocked.
• A "Vanished" rogue will no longer be taken out of their "vanished state" when they resist a spell.
• The rogue Assasination talent "Find Weakness" will now work properly with the finishing move "Deadly Throw".
• Using the rogue ability "Mutilate" when not behind your target will no longer initiate combat.
• The rogue ability "Slice and Dice" will no longer be reported twice in floating combat text when used.
• "Mind-Numbing Poison" will no longer stack with both "Curse of Tongues" and "Slow".

Due to the free respec for 2.0.3, thinking of respec'ing to the following talent build 31/2/18:
