Everyone's played the "what if" game. We all have dream items, dream builds, and combinations that are either awesome in power or good in power and yet still unique.
This is one I thought up when I heard Thunderfury procs off procs. I'm not sure if it does that anymore, given the nerfs to it, but the combination itself looks to be quite fun anyways.
Rogue Build
Key Talents:
Improved SnD -> keep SnD up, more attacks means more procs.
Improved Instant Poison -> Only 4 points, but gives Instant a 28% proc chance instead of 20% (Crippling, Deadly, Wound all start at 30%, Instant and Mind-Numbing at 20%).
Precision -> more hits = more procs
Blade Flurry -> more hits = more procs
Sword Specialization -> The melee attack proc can, you guessed it, proc others :)
Adrenaline Rush -> more SS = more procs :)
Main Hand: Thunderfury, for its obvious speed and proc. Depending on how nerfed it is, other options might be better now. Vis'kag, while lacking in pure DPS compared to BWL loot, has a proc also :)
Off Hand: Maladath or Brutality. Maladath is faster (more procs), but helps your overall skills less. That's not as important with this build, though (especially with Thunderfury), so we'll take it.
Trinket #1: Hand of Justice. Proccing for procs :)
Trinket #2: Darkmoon Card: Maelstrom. Yep, this interacts with other procs.
Weapon Enchants: Dual Lifestealing.
What is the end result when all this is put together?
Melee Attack (MH) -> can proc Thunderfury, Lifesteal, Instant Poison, Hand of Justice (new Melee Attack (MH)), Maelstrom, or Sword Specialization (new Melee Attack (MH)).
Melee Attack (OH) -> can proc Lifesteal, Instant Poison, HoJ, Maelstrom, or Sword Spec.
Special Attack -> can proc Thunderfury, Lifesteal, Instant Poison, Hand of Justice (new Melee Attack (MH)), Maelstrom, or Sword Specialization (new Melee Attack (MH)).
Instant Poison -> can proc Lifestealing. Pre-1.9 this supposedly proc'd Thunderfury too (if the MH's poison). Not sure about the others.
Lifesteal -> supposedly can proc Maestrom, Thunderfury (pre-1.9) - again being MH's Lifesteal. Haven't heard about the others.
You can see where this gets fun. One special attack could have a field day on procs, especially chain-proccing. Combine this with Thunderfury's good damage on its proc and you have why (pre-nerf), a Thunderfury Rogue can do very good damage despite having a weak Sinister Strike. If anyone has a definative yes/no on certain procs, I'd love to hear it.
So, what's your wierd setup?

Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
