Is there a Haste Cap for Outlaw Rogue?
There is currently no breakpoint which is required for Outlaw, nor is there a realistic value which causes Haste to become useless.
Should Outlaw Rogue Use a Fast or Slow Off-Hand?
What speed your weapon is does not matter, as long as the item level is the same. When choosing between two different off-hand weapon choices, choose the higher item level one.
What Stats do I Want as an Outlaw Rogue?
Versatility and Critical Strike for raiding as well as Mythic+.
Which Race is the Best for Outlaw Rogue?
The DPS differences between the races are fairly minimal. The best races for DPS on Horde are Vulpera, Orcs and Undead. For Alliance Mechagnome, Void Elf and Gnome are the best.
What Covenant is best for Outlaw Rogue?
All Covenants are viable choices, except Night Fae. Venthyr currently sims best for single-target, and Necrolord is evenly matched on cleave/AoE and Mythic+. Kyrian is the most flexible choice that works as a close second option in single-target and AoE/Mythic+.
What Legendary is best for Outlaw Rogue?
Invigorating Shadowdust for Kyrian, 
Concealed Blunderbuss
for Venthyr, and 
Greenskin's Wickers for Necrolord.
Greenskin's Wickers is the best Legendary for every Covenant for Mythic+.
What Conduit is best for Outlaw Rogue?
Count the Odds followed by 
Sleight of Hand. Except for
Night Fae, all Covenant-specific Conduits are worth playing as your
second Potency Conduit.
What is the best Dinar item for Outlaw Rogue?
Edge of Night is the most powerful weapon and you will want to get
one of them for your off-hand as soon as possible. 
Cruciform Veinripper
for your Mainhand is also a great choice, but not as important unless you do
not currently have a high item-level mainhand weapon.
