There are 2 major divisions. and 2 semimajor subdivisions.
First you have daggers vs sword/mace.
Dagger rogues love sneak attacks.
Sword/mace users depend more on SS. The sword/mace builds need a slow main hand weapon.
The second divsion is Combat focused talents vs Assassination focused talents. Assassination buillds depend heavily on making the best use of cold blood.
The Combat builds depend highly on blade fury.
Combat is roundly accepted as a superior PvE build.
But Assassination is often thought to be better for PvP, however this debatable.
Its going to take some tests and number crunching to figure out which build has the highest DPS in a PvP fight.
