Subtlety Rogue Stat Priority
Versatility > Mastery > Critical Strike > Haste
You want to focus on getting as much Versatility as possible, even going past the softcap of 30%.
After that, you will prioritize Mastery. It now provides mathematically the biggest DPS increase. Subtlety is a burst-oriented class and your mastery makes all of your finishers stronger. There is not really a reason to target any other stat due to the class being so reliant on the go to kill.

Best Subtlety Rogue Trinkets
Badge / Gladiator’s Emblem
Gladiator’s Medallion
For trinkets, we recommend that you always use a Medallion. It has been mandatory in PvP for years, and will remain so in Dragonflight.
As for your second trinket, you should default to Badge. This provides on-demand burst which is what Subtlety wants. Emblem can be used over Badge in match-ups where you are struggling to survive.

Best Subtlety Rogue Gems

As Versatility is your best secondary stat, you will want to both gem and enchant it wherever possible. You will be using Tiered Medallion Setting to get an additional gem slot in your Neck.
