Stat Priority
Subtlety Rogue's Stat Priority generally breaks down to "Mastery and Vers are good, the others are not great", this applies to both Single-Target and Multi-Target situations. We do not recommend fretting over stat priorities, as simming your gear is a far more objective and accurate way of determining the best gear for YOUR character.

Subtlety Rogue Stat Explanations
Agility is your primary statistic. You should look for it in all of your upgrades. It provides you with Attack Power, which determines the damage your abilities do.
Mastery increases the damage of your combo point finishers through
Mastery: Executioner.
Critical Strike increases your chance to critically hit with all spells and abilities. Crits deal double damage by default, but several effects can increase your crit damage, and make crits even stronger.
Versatility simply inceases damage done and damage reduces taken.
Haste increases your Energy regeneration, Rupture tick rate
and attack speed. Increased attack speed generates extra Combo Points via
Shadow Techniques.
