Is assassination pulling ahead of Sub on PTR in terms of pvp?

People have been playing Mut over Subt for PvP a lot lately. The only time Subt was considered way better this xpac was while CnD worked during SD. I haven't PvPed on the PTR much, but you can play any spec for PvP. They're all equally mediocre.
If they haven't fixed the Ticking Ebon Detonator (agi de-stacking trinket) + on-use agi pvp trinket + T16 4pc + KSp combo one shotting people, Combat will probably be the most popular.

Sub is still "burstier" and has more control, however since evis now crits for about 90k in 522 gear on leather with people having 500k hp I'd say its burst won't mean much.
The only thing sub has going for it is that it can keep recup up the easiest for 20% healing glyph.
Pve set bonuses were disabled in rated pvp.

Assassination
Assassin's Resolve While wielding daggers, your maximum Energy is increased by 20 and your damage is increased by 30% to 25%. Requires Daggers. Rogue - Assassination Spec.

Dispatch dmg is still there, though. Originally Posted by ProteinShake

Sub is basically dead. Assassination has been pulling ahead of sub since the Find Weakness nerf.

Shadow Dance is a lot of control, but it seems essentially impossible to do any damage with the spec. Your opponents have to be wildly permissive to allow you to keep your shit rolling, and find weakness puts the spec over in the corner with combat as "oh, you get fucked by armor".
That being said- shadow dance IS a good move. Sub is still the best rated rogue spec, and the sangv glyph is an overdue apology that will help quite a lot.
