This is a fantastic spec for leveling. Zero downtime, stuff dies FAST. Good for single-target, or AOE pulls, and even quite tasty in Warfronts.
The spec:
41 NB / 21 RS / 4 Tact
Buffs:
Curative Engine
Fell Blades
Hellfire Blades (the mobs won't live long enough where smoldering blades would be worth using)
Planebound Resilience
Stalker Phase
Macros:
Single Target 1
#show Shadow Assault
suppressmacrofailures
cast Shadow Assault
cast Dusk to Dawn
cast Phantom Blow
cast Dusk Strike
cast Empyrean Bolt
Single Target Finisher
#show Scourge of Darkness

#show Flame Blitz

cast Flame Blitz
cast Empyrean Ray
Empyrean Ray is a single-target only finisher, but a good alternative to Flame Thrust for that fool that's trying to run away in PVP. I put in in the AOE finisher macro just for convenience but it's meant as an alternative single-target only finisher that does more damage than Flame Thrust (but does have a 1.5 sec cast time so it's more situational).
Single Target Rotation:
Conceal then start off with Dark Malady > Twilight Force (not macroed) > Single Target Macro 1 (until AP full) > Single Target Finisher ... repeat from Twilight Force until mob is dead (which won't be long).
AOE Rotation:
Twilight Force > Spam AOE Macro until full AP > AOE Finisher ... repeat until mobs are dead.
If you get in trouble use Planar Refuge (30% reduction in damage done to you), and Twilight Transcendence (50% damage reduction + heals you for 50% of your health over 4 seconds).
As you level up, keep putting points in NB. Very fun spec to level with and as I said, not too shabby in PVP.
