Cloak of Shadows to mitigate damage if the entire raid ends up

General Offensive Cooldown Usage
Assassination Rogue has a few cooldowns to think about using optimally on the fights in Liberation of Undermine:
- Deathmark - Our main, 2-minute cooldown.
Kingsbane - Our 1-minute cooldown.
Make sure to use your cooldowns on cooldown as much as possible unless certain adds or DPS phases allow you to get more value out of them. This is typically something you will want to discuss with your Raidleader or the rest of the raid in static groups, while PUGs are more freeform than that. Simply keep an eye out on how you can best serve the raid, even if that means an add does not live to see the full duration of your Deathmark and Kingsbane. If it wiped you in the previous pull, and you now kill the boss, it does not matter if your DPS is a bit lower.
General Defensive Cooldown Usage
If you want to mitigate damage during some of the harder hitting moment of
any given encounter, just 
Feint. You can use 
Cloak of Shadows
to remove a variety of debuffs, or simply use it when the entire raid takes massive
chunks of damage or has a very strong DoT effect on all players, to alleviate
some of the pressure on your healers.
