I think they were in a pretty good spot in Legion. The AWC all had a great deal of rogue comps, with RMP being the scariest of all of course.
But right now, in a expansion with the theme focused arround PVP I don't think they are going to let things stay as it is even if it's pre patch. IDK what is with rogues and I don't want to talk about it in here because talking about nerfs for a class in it's own forum only attracts imature people, but it's something along the lines of broken like this screen shot i'm talking about:

Thanks for the heads up!
From the timings it looks like you could add in ghostly strike for the extra 10% as well. When I would see stuff like this 10 years ago, I would log that class and spend all of pre-patch farming people, but it's just not in me anymore.
random screen shot of an arena match aside. I dont think any experienced rogue expects it to stay in that state. Rogues always kick ass at the start then get a heavy nerf early on and have to play catch up all expansion and then finally become relevant again once scaling had kicked in. Minus legion though because rogue scaling in legion sucked with haste being shit but thats fixed now
Assassination is even more op right now. Casters stand 0 chance, and honestly the only way other players have a chance is if you are already at low hp.
"hey bro, can you stand there and no do anything while i set this up?"
"sure thing"
You think i formed a 20 player group just to make the video (^_^)
This actually happened in an actual BG
The only inconvenience of the build is that you need another "friendly player" to cast "tricks of the trade" on.
You can do it on the beginning of the BG...and you have 30 seconds to attack someone.
I promisse...this video was not setted up.
Otherwise i would have shown an actual one shot.
Right now its only one shotting people with "20k something HP"
The general course of Rogue PVP:
Pre Patch: Godly strong
Season 1: Get nerfed and become dogshit
Then by the end of the expansion they become better again.
Its my bad.
I should have made a video actually one shotting...for entertainment value. (and click bait)
But i was hasty and fast and did a quick video where the guy survived.
From further testing (after the video) i am one shotting people with 25-28k health.
I literally just one shoted a warrior with 28k health...like...20min ago :3
Don't get why all the hate here. Considering how undergeared his rogue was in comparison to the hunter that was a pretty impressive burst of damage. I'm looking forward to trying that out on my rogue.
Edit: I just ran into an Alliance hunter and tried that. He too had a bit over 30k health, but since my rogue has 35k he just melted and I didn't even have anyone to get the Tricks buff on or the bg potion! Still not as broken as Sub was before the pre-patch, but this will do nicely for now.

The real way to oneshot people right now is using your PvE trinket procs, on any dps.
Oh no, i was just kidding.
I was trying to be funny saying "there is nothing to see here" so Blizzard doesnt nerf us Outlaw rogues
