Combat Dagger is a talent build that developed from a need to move away from the flat damage of Eviscerate. Better weapons have changed the focus in PvE from burst damage popular earlier in the game to maintaining a high sustained damage. Toward this end, this build emphasizes the high damage possible from Backstab and increasing damage from normal swings by increasing attack speed with the finisher Slice and Dice.

A typical build is known at 16/25/10 and could be built as such -

Assassination - 16 points

5/5 Malice

''Italic text''5% crit is never a bad thing''Italic text''

3/3 Ruthlessness

''Italic text''Useful in its own right for maintaining Slice and Dice as long as possible, and a prereq for Relentless Strikes''Italic text''

2/3 Improved Slice and Dice

	I lean towards the first school of thought, because I'm a cheap bastard and reagents cost money. I can accept doing less damage than the other rogue if I take less damage and help the raid move more smoothly.

+''A great ability for PvE and PvP by allowing your attacks to hit the closest adjacent target. It is recommended that you activate Slice and Dice before turning on Blade Flurry to enhance your damage even further. One tip from Quark is to target the lighest armor enemy since Blade Flurry was returned to its flat damage with patch 1.9. Since Blade Flurry damage is not reduced by armor, hit the lightest armored foe (say a mage), and watch your damage against high armored foes increase by large percentage.''
