gonna do 2’s arena with a feral will sin compete with feral for bleeds do they overwrite each other?
They don’t overwrite. Sin will do very good damage and it will do it easier then Sub, but you will have less chances to go for a big kill. Symbols of Death and Shadow Dance come up a lot sooner then Deathmark and Kingsbane.
You will also have less control because again Shadow Dance.
But Assassination has some other worthwhile tricks - namely much better poisons. Wound Poison at 5 stacks reduces healing by 45% up to 48% depending on other talents.
Shiv is a key part of the Assassination kit and can be spec’d to increase your bleed damage by 30%. cost nothing and do 300% more damage (mine does about 200k which is not nothing considering it cost me nothing but a GCD and boost my damage).
Feral Druid damage profile complements Assassins very well. Both specs are functionally melee DoT classes.
Assassination also benefits from being able to do decent damage even if not geared to to the teeth.
So you in picking Sub or Sin you are choosing to maximize control or damage.

yah thinking the plan is force trinket then smoke bomb/lock down kill target while feral convokes for the kill so sin and more control sounds better
Assassin will absolutely force a trinket / CDs in most instances b/c Deathmark is an extremely dangerous CD. But you will get 1 use of it per a fight reasonably so keep that in mind.
Shadow Dance and Symbols can also force trinkets / CDs but not as reliably as Deathmark.
And there is a marked difference in control between Sin and Sub but it may not be a big enough difference in 2s to matter.
