Subtlety Rogue Leveling Spec (MoP 5.3)
This is the most optimal Subtlety Leveling Spec for 5.3. If you have any questions or suggestions on the build, please let me know.

(Mouseover for descriptions)
Level 15 – Nightstalker
Our first priority should always be speed. The other two skills are really good, but they don’t fit Sub Rogues like Nightstalker does. Not only can we get to the enemy faster, but we also do more damage with our initial burst.
Level 30 – Deadly Throw
I didn’t find any of these that helpful when playing the beta, but Deadly Throw was perfect for those runners. Later on when you can accumulate combo points faster the silence also helps.
Level 45 – Cheat Death
Most of the time you will be killing mobs so fast that the heals from Leeching Poison won’t matter, and Elusiveness only helps if we are in trouble, which quite often we aren’t.
Level 60 – Shadowstep
This is really good for bouncing around mobs while questing. The Nightstalker ability goes hand in hand with Shadowstep, so you’re extra quick.
Level 75 – Prey of the Weak
Paralytic Poison is also a great talent when you get higher up in levels, but the majority of the time Prey of the Weak will help more. We can do our initial opener followed by a Kidney Shot, and since they take extra damage, they die extra quick.
Level 90 – Versatility
If you plan on finishing all of your quest when you hit 90, Versatility would probably be your best bet. Being able to transfer combo points without a cooldown is pretty nice for leveling.

Hello fellow WoW players, thanks for checking out my site!
My name is Darrick, I've been playing World of Warcraft off and on since May of 2006. In that time I've done just about everything you can think of. I was there for the AQ gates opening, fought the demons coming through the Dark Portal, and watched Cities get burned down by the Scourge.
