Should I switch to Mutilate at 50?

N.B. I am leveling through BG's only.
My lovely little Rogue
is
fast
slowly approaching 50, which means that of course I have the option to spec into
Mutilate
.
The question is, should I? As you can see I am currently spec'd into Subtlety and I have to say I'm having tremendous fun hitting 1.4-1.8k crits with Ambush on players who, on average, have 2k health in this level bracket. Yes 2-shotting is very common here. I know I will lose some burst but what will I gain by switching to Mutilate so early? A lot of what makes level-80 Mutilate so deadly are the 25 talent points used in Subtlety tree for increased utility. I will not have those extra talent points.
So, give me your reasons for switching to Mutilate at 50. If the reasons aren't good enough, when should I switch to Mutilate? 55? 60? 70?

You can switch to mutilate at 50 if you want. Just make sure like armill3 said pump your next couple points into Dual weapon spec. It will give you a nice boost in your performance and i would recomend putting those points from 51-55 in it. then you could continue on down the assasination tree if you want. but remember HfB is a nice damage boost but it may not be practial to keep it up while questing.

I will not be questing. At all.

Once I hit level 60, or around there, I dual specced my rogue with a PvP mut spec for BGs etc and a combat spec for instances and killing difficult mobs or pulls solo. I actually find myself using the Mut spec for taking down single targets and questing though, but not sure I would have liked it before 60.

I guess I must have skipped over the first line of your post. My bad. If you are going strictly PvP I would deffinatly recomend going mut at 55ish. Until then I am guessing sub will out perform Mut

if you enjoy 2 shotting people stay sub
if you want a bit more control and survivability, go mutilate
