  Rather than smoke, I use impact shot. Though, I usually rank out at #1 in damage, so thats whats pretty important to me. Smoke tends to be helpful when there is a mob of dudes raining pain on the parade.
  
  MI w/ Executioner is what I am running. Ive tried every possible option with both Whisperknife and MI....and I like this best. Again, im more for damage though, and I run a greater vorpal and soulforged. So depending on how you play, Sab might be better for you.
  
  I see a lot less wizards around.

  I am not worried about being the biggest damage dealer, just making my rogue stronger in helping through dungeons. If I get max damage by that, then awesome. What should I use for the two features, and was there anything else I should change out?

  Well, after playing with everything...and making some changes yesterday, after i responded to you, here is my set up right now.
  
  Im by no means, a pro with this, though, I think im doing something right since I end up topping the dungeon leaderboards in just about everything (except healing, if there is a cleric). I do end up taking the most damage in most cases, but im not to worried since I revive every 60 seconds anyway.
  
  As for my paragon points...I focused mainly on STR and CON. My random roll kind of had other things at a higher level anyway.
  
  Anyway, I digress...here is my set up: Level 60 TR, Master Infiltrator, full executioner. This is tad embarrasing, seeing as I actually dont remember what i changed it to last night, but I think im running first strike and invisible infiltrator. Dont quote me though. ill find out for sure.
  
  Im using Duelist's flurry and gloaming cut. I didnt opt for the ranged attack because I do much more damage up close and personal with my enchantments.
  
  I swapped out my Impact shot to Impossible to catch. As much as I hated losing damage and adding the stealth/impossible to catch combo, I found it pretty useful -- though, I may change it again. Probably to smoke bomb.
  
  SAB WK is actually a good route. If you arent feeling it with you MI, i'd suggest a change. I played as a WK for a month.
  
  Since TR tends to lack any real defensive skills, I packed some reinforcements kits on 2 items and my enchantments target defense, deflect, life steal and hit points (without regard to the vorpal or soulforged), giving me just under a 15k GS. Though, I dont have a third artifact equipped yet and I have a blue belt. Hopefully soon, ill be at nearly 17k GS.
  
  Best of luck to you.

  Sarv, I've never run an exe build, but I'm very happy with saba atm. If some of this stuff doesn't work well with an exe build sorry!
  
  Here's my current feat setup:
  http://nwcalc.com/index.html#/tr?b=23ci:k6rwk5:8dep:5tb7d,1x03i9c:1uu50zv:1000000:1uu0000&h=0&p=min
  
  So right off the bat some of the things I think that would definitely up your single target dmg would be...
  
  Passives:
  I would definitely switch out first strike for tactics. First strike has some uses, but not so much on dungeon content. Tactics gives you more AP, which gives you more dailys, which gives you more dmg.
  
  Skillful infiltrator is what I'm running now. I'm almost finished with invisible infiltrator (2/3) and I want to test the dmg output with that.
  
  At wills:
  Personally I only use cloud of steel for PvP. Typically I run with sly flourish, and flurry. I like sly with flurry because sometimes things don't need a full flurry.
  
  Encounters:
  Dazing strike and lashing blade have never left my bar.
  I do quite a bit of messing around with my 3rd depending on what i'm doing.
  
  My group (GF,DC,me,HR,SW) pretty much only chain pulls and speed runs dungeons so I usually have smoke bomb up.
  I've seen a lot of other rogues use path of the blade, but I think smoke bomb is better for speed clearing. The other classes I run with shine at aoe, so the dmg from path is marginal at best. Instead double dazing definitely helps keep huge swarms of mobs at bay.
  
  Wicked remainder: This one is a small cone, and semi-spamable. It's pretty nice for AP generation, but I tend to have issue keeping stacks up (unless I use a specific rotation and don't get knocked back or anything). Not using this one too much anymore.
  
  Shadow Strike: I'm definitely using this one a lot more (on bosses). With how I'm set up this gives me triple stealth, or an in stealth attack.
  
  Dailies:
  Lurkers Assault- I think this is really the main source of rogue dmg output.
  Shocking execution- I only ever use this at <35% for double dailies (and cry sometimes when it doesn't refill AP).
  
  
  Hope some of this helps.

  thanks guys. i will be checking out these powers and rotations on my rogue soon. Have to build up the AD to retrain, but I am going to do it, so I can play it more again.
