Caps & Requirements
Best Races
Blood Fury is the standard pick. Axe Specialization also covers fist weapons (+5 expertise), which matters for Combat fist builds — daggers get nothing from it.
Sword / Mace Specialization suits Combat sword builds with +3 expertise; Every Man for Himself for utility. Night Elf’s Quickness (+2% dodge) is DPS-neutral flavour.
Notes
ArP-cap physical agility setup; Delicate/Glinting used after cap and for socket/cap polishing.
The Subtlety Rogue list in short

In short: the PvE 4pc build uses the Heaven's Fall, Kryss of a Thousand Lies in the main hand with the Lungbreaker in the off hand and the Fal'inrush, Defender of Quel'thalas as the ranged weapon; its trinkets are Tiny Abomination in a Jar and Sharpened Twilight Scale; the head slot is Geistlord's Punishment Sack and the chest is Sanctified Shadowblade Breastplate.
