Subtlety Rogue PvP Talents and Builds — Midnight Season 1

This build emphasizes the damage of your finishing moves — Eviscerate and Secret Technique. Multiple talents are picked to specifically make those spells more powerful. The goal is to have decent sustained damage with Eviscerate and Secret Technique.

Eviscerate is empowered by Shadowed Finishers, increasing its damage by 30% as Shadow. Because Shadow damage is magic, this part ignores armor. Dark Brew increases that part of the damage by 10%. Veiltouched increases it by another 5%. Finality allows every second Eviscerate to be buffed by another 15% (Finality is halved in PvP combat).

And finally, Deeper Daggers further empowers the Shadow damage part by 8%. Add to that the modifiers that empower finishing moves, such as Deeper Stratagem and Secret Stratagem, as well as the modifiers that increase damage on your goes, such as Dark Shadow, and you have a very powerful Eviscerate.

Deathstalker is a great pick for Subtlety. Since Shadowstrike is one of your main abilities you will not have to think to apply Deathstalker's Mark, it will come naturally with your rotation. The talents Ethereal Cloak and Shadewalker give you more survivability and mobility respectively.

But the reason why this Heroic Talent tree is good is the last talent, Darkest Night. When it is available your next Eviscerate will deal massive damage. Plus, during Shadow Blades, since you generate full Combo Points every time you use a builder, you might be able to trigger Darkest Night rapidly which will make your burst very deadly. And last, the talent Lingering Darkness will grant you extra Shadow damage once Shadow Blades expires. That means you can burst your target with Shadow Blades, and once your kill attempt is over you will be able to burst them again with Lingering Darkness on the next kill attempt since your Secret Technique deals Shadow damage (and part of Eviscerate does as well).

This is the recommended build if you are primarily playing Battleground Blitz or Random Battlegrounds. This build is extremely similar to your 3v3 arena build, but you will be playing Deathstalker. This build will give you more consistent damage after Shadow Dance is over from Lingering Darkness and more energy from Darkest Night.
