Just some notes I have come across so far concerning Assassination spec. There are five talents affecting Garrote in in different areas of the tree that could have been consolidated. Flat damage increases should be condensed or baked into the spell. For example Bloody Mess and Avulsion. Too many generic % inc talents spread around. Amplifying poison is a required talent for single target but is locked behind aoe talents. Dashing scoundrel doesn’t feel tuned to the level of competing capstone talents. The final point invested into the apex talent does not seem related to the rest of the nodes. It seems like it is better suited as the follow up talent for kingsbane. Feels a bit clunky having both Fan of Knives and Crimson Tempest. Going with the theme of changes, their functionality could be merged leaving only one aoe generator. Energy economy in aoe is horrible after the nerf to venomous wounds. In conjunction with the high cost of crimson tempest the flow of combat slows down drastically when trying to spread your bleeds to other targets and hardly feels worth it because the pay out from venomous wounds is too little.
