Guess I missed this on the first pass. I would like to say that for "Holding back" as a Rogue, my conservatism is pretty much non-existant anymore. I may or may not wait for the Sunder Armor to hit before I Ambush. With Blessing of Salvation, I'll start earlier typically. I always Feint after Ambush w/o BoS, and only do it with BoS when I get aggro. Then I just go into normal DPS mode, and only through in occassional Feints if I don't have BoS.
If I get aggro, I Feint again. Simple - unless the Feint misses. The last time I did Scholomance, with the Argent Dawn Trinket equipped, proved to me how valuable my +2% hit trinket really is. Feint was missing alot more often, leading to gained aggro, sometimes even after the Feint if I didn't notice it missed. Aggro w/o Feint leads to Evasions and Vanishes ... never fun to use if you're afraid of wipe-threatening problems later on while your skills are on cooldown.
Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
