Stat Breakdown

Skill Capped recommends the following stat priority for Subtlety Rogue PvP:

Versatility increases your damage and reduces damage taken, essential for PvP survivability as a melee.

Haste is now extremely strong in Midnight thanks to Deepening Shadows, which increases the duration of Shadow Dance by a percentage of your Haste. Getting slightly above 20% Haste gives you an extra 2 seconds on Dance, significantly extending your burst windows.

Mastery: Executioner increases the damage of your finishing moves, but Midnight has budgeted more power into Shadowstrike, which is unaffected by Mastery: Executioner, making it lower priority than before.

Critical Strike provides additional burst potential during Shadow Dance but is the lowest priority stat.

Embellishments

Primary Setup

The Devouring Banding seems to provide the best DPS increase at the moment, since it not only deals direct damage but also boosts secondary stats. You will need to craft this on a non-jewelry slot.

Gems

Use Enduring Heliotrope as your unique PvP gem for damage reduction when affected by Crowd Control. Fill remaining sockets with Flawless Versatile Peridot for Haste and Versatility.
