Choosing the right alt

While soloing, my damage runs about 45% Melee, 20% Sinister Strike, 10% Backstab, 10% Ambush, 8% Eviscerate, and the rest is "other" - though mostly poison IIRC.  All but one of the listed skills is highly weapon dependent.

Addition - if you want a Rogue to solo, go Combat.  Don't go Subtlety/Assassination.

So.... You advocate rogue? :D How much of the equipment can be had from AH, or quests? Some people say Hunter, and it is very soloable for some things. I would think the v1.8 changes made that better. I'm not discouraging Hunter, but having brought one to lvl 60 there are many advantages and just as many disadvantages. Hunters are just as gear dependent as rogues, but some of the best hunter gear is quest rewards. Hunters have traps, and feign death to help them with gathering, while rogues can stealth, vanish, and if things go south you can gouge and sprint. Both are dependant on food and bandages. I'd say the hunter has less downtime between fights that they win, but the rogue wins more fights. If you go survival/marksman spec (as I did) you can easily fight two or more mobs at a time, so that might be another plus for hunter.
