Update - Looks like the escapist took the article down, probably went up earlier than expected.

Rogue Legendary and Patch 4.3
Another interview showed up today in The Escapist. The most important part is the Rogue Legendary dagger and new raid level difficulty, but the important points are all below.

• Rogues will get a legendary dagger and exciting quest line to go with it. The lore for the dagger has not been decided upon yet.
• Looking for Raid tool raids will be easier than normal raids using a new level of difficulty (Looking For Raid).
• The Looking for Raid tool will only work for 25 man raids, not 10 man.
• Players will get different achievements and loot from doing Random Raid mode, no normal mode achievements or perks will be gained.
• This will introduce players to the content and mechanics of the fights so that they are more prepared for an actual raid.
• The new five mans will have tighter story integration with the Deathwing Raid than Icecrown Heroics did.
• The Dragonflights will work together to help take down Deathwing.
• Deathwing's random zone burning will continue at least until the end of Patch 4.3.
• They might be talking about Pandas at Blizzcon.

I hope the dagger is a fast 1.4 dagger if not BOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111oneone....

Even if it doesn't, the sheer stats/damage on it will still probably make it BiS

True but if its a slow dagger (Looking at 2.0 and above) it should optimally go to a mut rogue first b4 anyone else thinks abt getting it in which it'll be stupid cuz it doesnt benefit a combat rogue as much as it benefits a mut rogue..

Also, if my calculations are not wrg,

ilvl 359 1.4 spd dagger >>>>> ilvl 391 1.8 spd dagger in the OH so I dun see how its gonna be bis for a combat's rogue unless the spd of the dagger is in excess of 2.6 in which there might be a chance it could go on a MH for combat rogues but I can only imagine how OP it would be on a mut rogue.

As it is now mut rogues do comparable dps to combat and thats with 1.8 daggers imagine a 2.6 dagger, it'd be simply too overpowered. Dun think blizz would allow it.

What if it'll be something like the ICC reputation ring in which you can choose different rewards and switch it whenever you choose to?

I think that'll cater to all rogues much better, since it seems to be a rogue-only legendary from the news so far. I know its slightly troublesome, but if you are talking about having the enchants intact even after the switch, it shouldn't be really troublesome IMO, and would offer a wide range of choices.
