I also went assassination. I put my first 5 points into opportunity and mostly picked my talents for either extra crit, extra combo points, or extra energy. I can't stand the idea of playing a rogue and NOT using rear attacks, distract, sap, and pick pockets. I have a combat rogue somewhere, and I use garotte => slice & dice => Sinister Strike (1 to however many) => Eviscerate as my combat combo. It works pretty well when you decide to skip out on daggers.
I went for PvP on my assassination rogue -- 5/5 in Opportunity (subtlety) and 5/5 in Malice (assassination). Then I did a lot of mouserunning to get off the Backstabs I spammed. Remarkably effective.
