General Offensive Cooldown Usage
Outlaw Rogue has a few cooldowns to think about using optimally on the fights in Liberation of Undermine:
- Outlaw doesn't really have cooldowns, due to how much cooldown reduction you get on each of your CDs.
- Adrenaline Rush and Vanish are your most important cooldown-based
abilities, as they contribute in major ways to your overall DPS performance. Make
sure to not waste these casts so you can get as much cooldown reduction on them
as possible.
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.
Take special care to not use 
Adrenaline Rush right before a boss
becomes unavailable or very difficult to attack for 10+ seconds, as it will cause
issues with the amount of cooldown reduction you will gain, resulting in a much lower
Adrenaline Rush uptime.
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.
