Stat Priority

Versatility > Mastery: Potent Assassin > Critical Strike > Haste

Versatility increases your damage and reduces damage taken, essential for PvP survivability as a melee that gets trained. Mastery: Potent Assassin increases the damage of your poisons and bleeds, your primary damage sources. Critical Strike provides burst potential but is less consistent than Mastery: Potent Assassin. Haste is the lowest priority as Assassination relies on DoT damage rather than fast attacks.
