thing to remember Rogues is the noticable difference haste has on oppertunity to activate BS/disarm/instill doubt. I BS every 8 seconds with no haste, with FBSS and Alacrity I BS every 6.5 seconds (roughly 38% haste and 19 extra swings per 100). The rates of disarm and instill doubt go up the same as well. With bane of garou (sp) and FBSS I BS every 5.5 seconds (roughly 62% haste and 31 extra swings per 100) You see where this is going?

I have only done a simple test, timing 3 consecutive backstabs to take a total of 25 seconds. Normally they take 10 seconds each. This is a 16.7% delay reduction, so within error, it looks consistent with the 17% expected value.
