For Rogues, the biggest change in WoW Forever is that 
Sap no longer breaks 
Stealth. You can take one enemy out of a pull and still open on another, and 
Distract now also makes enemies worse at spotting you.
Energy also refills smoothly instead of in a burst every two seconds. Rogues can learn to use one-handed axes, and poisons have more charges and work alongside sharpening stones.
Assassination gets 
Mutilate, a strike with a dagger in each hand, and ends in 
Venom, a finisher that strengthens your poisons. Combat folds its weapon talents into 
Hack and Slash and now works for a 
Backstab build too. Subtlety is built around 
Rupture, with 
Hemorrhage making it hit harder and Thousand Cuts making your next strikes cheaper.
Try a build as you read in the Rogue talent calculatorRogue talentsAssassination, Combat, Subtlety.
