A few points:
First and foremost, you can't put points in Lethality without 10 points in the assassination tree. I think your first edit should correct this rather large oversight.
I would compare hemorrhage with what people would generally use in it's place, Sinister Strike. You simply show how much damage hem does without taking into account what you could do with another attack of the same level (the analysis still favors hem, assuming you have enough time to land all the blows)
While I'm a little reluctant to critique the talent build, because you mention it's a themed build, I think the exclusion of Improved Sap is near suicide to enjoyable group instance play at or near cap level. Improved Sap, should also fit well with your theme. Personally I'd take the Vanish points and put them in Imp. Sap.
It seems like you think premed. excludes the use of CS. It doesn't, and actually would fit VERY well into your build.
Distract + Premed + CS + SnD = 4 or 5 CP of Slice and Dice without having to wait for energy.
Premed, unlike any other rogue skill, has a casting time. Because of that you may want to discuss a little about if you've experienced premed having issues with mobs running out of the short range during the casting time, or if you have to use distract EVERY time you use premeditation. I've never used premeditation, so I don't know for sure how this plays into it's use, but I imagine it requires a little different strategy. I imagine at the very least it means that premed is of little use in a group PvP type setting.
Artega is right about the warrior comment. Dodge is the last thing you want to do against a warrior, you basically give a warrior sinister strike with this build, as he will overpower every 5 seconds.
