I've decided to twink up Aah at this level range and play her for a while. The rogue gets a lot more fun tools at this bracket than in 10-19. I figure I'll do mostly WSG but also want to try out AB at this level.
It'd be fun to get together and do some organized PvP, rolling over the PUGs (and avoiding the uber-twinks you find in there).
So there's the first part of this post -- who's interested in joining me?
The second part is a request for help. I've put together a preliminary list of gear. I'm not going all out on this -- I have the money, but I also have a desire to get this rogue to 60 so spending a fortune isn't worth it to me. So I've picked pieces of gear that are reasonable to attain, with some help from others and some time invested.
Many of the items are crafted and I will need help from some guild leatherworkers. I will get the materials for them, just need to know who is wiling to make each one.
DAGGER:
Toxic Revenger: http://thottbot.com/?i=9007
Farmable drop in Gnomeregan
Sheep popping dagger but nothing else comes close to it from what I can tell
MAIN HAND SWORD:
Zealot Blade: http://thottbot.com/?i=8824
Random SM drop
This item will be pricey, and I am hoping to snipe it off the AH. Typically goes for about 75g. I'm also looking for a second best choice that is easier to obtain. I remember this dropped for Jandrey a few months back and I laughed at an int/spi sword, but for a level 29 rogue it can't be beat.
PANTS:
Triprunner Dungarees: http://thottbot.com/?i=2281
Gnomeregan Quest reward, obtainable at level 25
WRIST:
Barbaric Bracers: http://thottbot.com/?i=40350
Crafted
HANDS:
Toughened Leather Gloves: http://thottbot.com/?i=1411
Crafted
I already have a pair of these -- there are better ones at this level but not easy to get
CHEST:
Blackened Defias Armor: http://thottbot.com/?i=7076
These drop from Van Cleef in the Deadmines.
I was surprised to see they are still the best thing I can get for 29.
Will require some help farming these. It may be that VoiceMan and I can trade off escorting our rogues through, but it'd be really nice for both of us to come along if we can get someone to help us.
I'm also not opposed to doing an at level Deadmines run -- I really miss the Deadmines.
HEAD:
Humbert's Helm: http://thottbot.com/?i=6779
This is totally irreplaceable, and I can solo farm this with Necrali
FEET:
Warsong Boots: http://thottbot.com/?i=4134
Ashenvale quest we all know and love
SHOULDERS:
Earthen Leather Shoulders: http://thottbot.com/?i=7718
Crafted
WAIST:
Dark Leather Belt: http://thottbot.com/?i=1412
Crafted
So at some point it'd be great to get some help doing Deadmines and Gnomeregan, and there are several crafted pieces I would like help getting made.
I also will be posting a response in this thread later about a talent spec for this level but I'm out of time for now.
I also will be wanting enchants, basically as much +sta as I can reasonably attain and afford, but I haven't looked into that yet either.

I've got a couple of toons in the 20's that need reasons to play, so I would be happy to join you now and then.
As far as your equipment choices I have a few suggestions.
Dagger
Toxic Revenger is a great dagger. Swinetusk Shank in RFK is a better choice imo.
Swinetusk Shank
Binds when picked up
Unique
One-Hand Dagger
24 - 45 Damage Speed 1.50
(23.0 damage per second)
+6 Stamina
+4 Spirit
1. It is easier to farm with about a 50% drop rate; Agathelos the Raging either drops the dagger or Ferine Leggings. He is harder to get to than Viscous Fallout, but I once spent a couple of hours farming for Toxic Revenger with another rogue and got a lot of Hydrocanes and cloth drops--no dagger.
2. There is no risk of breaking sheep or more importantly Gouge.
Sword
Outlaw Sabre
Binds when picked up
One-Hand Sword
35 - 67 Damage Speed 2.70
(18.9 damage per second)
Equip: +15 Attack Power.
This a quest reward from BFD. It is therefore easy to get, and it is a terrific weapon.
Shoulders
Mantle of Thieves
Binds when equipped
Shoulder Leather
77 Armor
+10 Agility
+4 Stamina
+3 Spirit
This is a random RFK drop.
Gloves
Wolfclaw Gloves
Binds when equipped
Hands Leather
61 Armor
+5 Strength
+6 Agility
+6 Stamina
Another random RFK drop.
Bracers
The 1st Sergeant bracers you get as PVP reward are top notch.
It looks to me like you should be farming RFK.
I'd go for +agility rather than +stamina. When a rogue begins dropping too much health he vanishes, sprints, blinds, gouges or runs.
I hope this feedback is helpful.
