Hey!
1. trinkets
Go with sts (hc) proc is just too good. Second you can try wfs because crit gains you faster energy regen via offhand crits + the proc is amazing aswell. You can also try wfs/hwt since the static haste and ap is a nice gain aswell. I would rather say that your trinket choice is not correlated with being a successful pvp assa.
2. go with double 1.8 (heaven+Heartpiecer), put deadly on offhand because being able to shiv wound/slow is crucial. Furthermore I suggest you go with with this spec:

(not me, choose assa spec)
I’ve tested around a lot with different assa specs and I found this spec giving the most consistent output. Dmg comes not from mutilate but from poisons/envenom just like in pve thus having maximized poison output is considered to give the most satisfying results.
3. Stats
Don’t go below 1150 resil, especially not in this meta. I would rather take 100 more. Gem Resil/AP. Get around 8-12% haste from items.
Bis should look like 5/5 s8, 277 haste/arp neck (pending), 277 haste/crit cloak, 284 haste/crit bracers, s8 belt/boots, 277 verdict ring, 284 hit/crit ring, wfs(hc)/sts(hc), 284/284 daggers.
Swapping pieces out won’t have much impact on your output at all - it’s more important to know when to use your CDs (coldblood, Offensive vanish, engi gloves)
Tips:
You should not KIdneyshot on cooldown rather use it to peel or stun someone behind pillar while he’s LOSing healer. Envenom is your best finisher, I barely use rupture - it’s more situational. You kill ppl with pooling energy and doing a pve rotation like mutilate-> envenom -> mutilate -> envenom ...
ruthlessness (60% chance to get 1 more CP) and mutilate crits allow you to spam mutilate/envenom combos but don’t overlap envenom buff (just like pve) instead pool energy. Keep in mind that Dirty Deeds give you 20% more dmg once target drop below 35% - these are the moments where you‘ll do big envenom crits (use coldblood, rocket gloves) and the above mentioned „rotation“ to have unhealable pressure.
„Bodypull“ melees behind pillar when they focus you while pooling energy and cps, KS them and do envenom spam to generate pressure.
You can do low cp envenoms to get the buff for faster poison stack.
Play with a DP (2v2) because lowfear can be an essential key of winning as assa. I killed dozens of restodruids because they came close to me, ate a mutilate/ks into a lowfear while I had time to pool energy and generate deadly stack with autoattack and follow the lowfear by a vanish/cs or garotte and big envenom/rocket glove. The gear is not as essential as your playstyle, don’t smash mutilate button instead try to lurk your enemy’s in to a situation where they are vulnerable for your consistent output.
Hope this helps you.
