Why? You have to understand that Hemo is replacing Sinister Strike. You spend less energy on a non-normalized attack, why in hell would you want SS? That my friend, is called inefficient, and as a rogue, you have to maximize your capabilites. Why waste talent points?
Agreed
Here's my thoughts on the subject:
There is no single "real" rogue build. It simply can't be done. The class is pretty one sided as compared to other classes, especially hybrids, that pick builds to do totally different things. Some might say, rogues are all about stealth. To that I ask you: how many times have you killed someone while remaining in stealth? The sub tree has some great utility toys, and that's really what it's there for. Deep sub builds lack a lot of things, but they also give you plenty of options. Basically, you can compare deep sub builds to 3 minute mages. You're damn powerful when all of your cooldowns are up, but kinda gimp when they aren't.
Other trees give you other things. Deep combat builds have great sustained damage but less burst damage and control. Deep assassination builds give you good burst damage, some moderate stunlocking abilities, and some tricks. Hybrids like the popular 30/0/31 builds give you good burst damage (with daggers), or good stunlocking abilities (hemo variants), along with lots of tricks (via prep/CB/premed).
In the end, your question can't be answered. Your build is made on personal prefrence. Many raiding rogues would argue that deep combat builds capture the essence of a rogue. A strong tactical fighter that can manage his agro and deal high sustained damage over the course of a fight. Why? It fits their play style. Boss fights are long, and rogues don't have to worry about mana issues. They have flat damage vs time curves because they can deal the same amonut of damage for hours on end without having to drink. Many PvP rogues would argue that a deep sub build or a hybrid build captures the essence of a true rogue. You have lots of stealth tricks, can get the opener every time, and have great burst damage and/or control over your fight. Many of us who like to do PvP and PvE would argue that deep assassination builds offer a rogue the right tools to be successful in both departments. Relatively high sustained damage, fast CP generation, moderate control, good burst damage, etc...
