Cheap shot: 4 sec stun, 2 combo points

You made the comparisons for level 60 versions of these skills. Yet to do not offer any reasoning for why angarrote could EVER be a better choice at level 60. I can't think of a situation in which improved garotte might be better. If you are afraid of stealing aggro then there are steps you can take to make sure that the ambush doesn't kill you when it crits for large damage
It's easy to say that there is a use for garrotte us rogues just suck not knowing it... but damned if you're going to bother to think of one. (and yes garotte is ~ok when leveling, level 60 examples would be nice)
