Torpedo works for subtlety and assassination rogues by providing a recommendation towards their next ability, very similar to Claw for feral and guardian druids. Torpedo works by placing an icon to the right your target's health-bar displaying the recommended skill, or a blue overlay if pooling energy is recommended. You can use shift+click to move the suggestions.
Torpedo supports both primary and secondary recommendations - meaning that you can decide whether or not to use cooldowns or survival abilities depending on the fight. By using two behavior tree's (for both primary and secondary recommendations), Torpedo smoothly handles deviations from the recommendations, and can start making recommendations at any point in the fight.
The recommendations are acquired from experience when testing Torpedo, and from icy-veins.
The blue overlay just means pool energy - you can disable pooling energy in the options.
Feel like the rotation is incorrect? First make sure you have the newest version of Torpedo, and do the following to clear Torpedo's cache:
Escape -> Interface -> Addons -> Torpedo -> Default -> Set all to recommended (new in 1.5.11c)
That will ensure you are using the latest default rotation. If that still doesn't help, see if you can find better settings, and post a comment below with your changes and a link to the exported profile (on a service like pastebin)! (new in 1.5.20a)

Subtlety AoE Profile
This is a fun alternative to the default settings for subtlety which is sub-par in most cases, but is fun to play around with.This is meant for the following talent choices:
Weaponmaster, Subterfuge, Vigor, -, -, Alacrity, Death from Above
The idea is to use the death from above cleave to get the most effect out of Weaponmaster. It also uses Alacrity over Premed, which just made this particular build feel a bit better and certainly more unique. See if you can come up with a variation on this and tell me about it!
This build works well if you:
- Never stop attacking (Alacrity wearing off is very bad.)
- Have on average 2+ targets (either periods of a lot of adds, or consistently are able to cleave)
