You can put 21 points in two lines then use the remaining 8 to get Enhance: Hemotoxin. You shouldn't be losing dps, in fact most of the assassin AAs aren't meant to directly translate into dps but rather as means to achieve more dps or ease the way to do more dps.

ie: Enhance: Exacting, Repeated Stabbing, the reduction on mastery strikes, etc.

Havent seen anyone mention this yet. I keep switching between this and bleeding/RS or RS/Gateway. Always end up with this at the end, i think its pretty good.

Satinah

My version of Bleeding/RS for when i get bored with frontload. I dont last long with this though and usually go back to the bleeding/frontload set up above.

At the end it all comes down to personal preference i guess. None are worthless or great given a specific play style so just pick up what you like.

Just remove 2 from apply poison and add to deadly focus rest is exactly the same for me too. After last lu I have noticed a slight drop on my overall dps but still thinking this is the best setup for raids.

Hm now I got frontload I was wondering. Would you rather take Enhance: Deadly Focus or Enhance: Honed Reflexes? I took Deadly Focus cus it was easier to access skilling down to Frontload, but actually I think I'd rather have the Honed reflexes Enhancement. What do you suggest?

I'd "personally" suggest that you........ take.... Honed Reflexes especially if you never have an illusionist.

Curious how Frontload has helped w/ proc'ing items (ie...noticable difference?) - I have Raincaller, and I'm loving mixing that in w/ my Melee stuff, and can only imagine there's some nice dps possibilites w/ that, Frontload and other spell proc gear.

I use frontload and exacting at the same time, so you can hit your CA's faster for more procs, i personaly see a difference in proc%

Must just be my luck, but once i used Frontload and my Robe didn't proc once !
For the most part it's nice for the Concealment chain, or when CoB and all your CA's are refreshed. (Just a couple examples)

Examining parses with and without Mark will show you that it is a waste to put AA points into Mark (I changed my tree to exclude Mark after this study).

Findings without AA's in Mark: When Raiding Mark goes off almost instantaneously. When soloing it takes about 2-3 secs to complete.

That is with 27% Haste btw.
