Getting a Better Understanding of Assassination Rogue Stats
Agility is your primary statistic. You should look for it in all of your upgrades. It provides you with Attack Power, which determines the damage your abilities do.
Mastery increases the damage that your poisons and bleeds deal
(through 
Mastery: Potent Assassin).
Critical Strike increases your chance to critically hit
with attacks. As an Assassination Rogue, this statistic also contributes
to granting you extra Combo Points through 
Seal Fate.
Versatility is a flat-out damage done increase and damage taken reduction.
Haste provides you with increased attack speed and Energy regeneration.
