Well, I wouldn't keep it in a real rotation, but if there's an AoE the boss is about to cast (Emalon's
Lightning Nova
for example) I usually vanish to avoid the damage and apply garrote. Saves me from damage and I save the healers some mana. Just a situational thing I suppose :-)

i use it as mutilate everytime they launch bloodlust....resetting aggro is always good^^
also, vanishing the nova and so on is really dependant on timing and i miss it everytime XD i prefer to use CoS

You just have to time it right! If you're a bit laggy, results may vary lol.

It looks like garrote does 3k damage when you have 5500 AP which with trinket/enchant procs isn't too unbelievable. So if you can consistently do over 3k dmg in two global cooldowns then vanish/rupture is probably a damage loss.
here is the equation for people interested in calculating it for their rogue's stats:
This is interesting to me cause I used to do it just on word of mouth advice, but now I'm just gonna reserve vanish for threat dumps.

The GCD I referred to was merely the time you spend in Stealth waiting for the GCD from Vanish to finish so you could Garrote.
Vanish doesnt activate GCD, if you macro vanish+garrote, the only GCD you have to take into account is garrote's and if you macro it correctly, then "time spent out of combat" is virtually zero.

Considering his earlier comment about using Vanish then Garrote and how the "aggro is gonna be the death of u" (since, you know, Vanish clears threat to 0,) I'd say it's safe to take this reply with a grain of salt.
