Subtlety Rogue DPS Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.3
If you were looking for WoW Classic content, please refer to our Classic DPS Rogue enchants and consumables.
Best Gems for Subtlety Rogue
You should use 
Leviathan's Eye of Agility in one socket, and
Deadly Lava Lazuli (or the cheaper 
Deadly Amberblaze) in
all other sockets.
Note that all four stats are close to each other for Subtlety, so if you have very little of certain stat, you might want to gem for that instead.

Consumables for Subtlety Rogue
Best Flasks and Potions for Subtlety
Potion of Unbridled Fury is the best pick for pure single-target and 2-3
target cleave. 
Potion of Empowered Proximity for 4 or more targets.
Greater Flask of the Currents is our flask of choice.
Since Patch 8.0.1, Healthstones and 
Abyssal Healing Potion no longer
share a cooldown with each other, which means that you can use both of them. It is
also important to note that the Healing Potion is significantly stronger than
Healthstones.
Best Food for Subtlety
You should eat Critical Strike food (
Mech-Dowel's "Big Mech" or the cheaper
Honey-Glazed Haunches).
Augment Runes for Subtlety
If you can afford it, you should use 
Battle-Scarred Augment Runes to
increase your primary stat. Since there is a finite amount of these runes
available, you should make sure to use them wisely and to stock up on them
for when you need them.
Starting in patch 8.3 you can also use the re-usable
Lightning-Forged Augment Rune to increase your primary stat by an equal
amount.
