I spoke with Safu/Misams and according to him:
1) Combat Potency procs way less often as it should
2) Killing Spree cancels autoattacks while active.
Taralej you made the FoK + Killing Spree bug report so you know Combat Rogues should be dumping energy with FoK while KS is active but now I barely ever get near capping energy except during AR.
Take these two issues as little food for thought while trying to figure out what's wrong with our favorite spec.

I was having my doubts about Combat Potency proccing less than it should, but if so, then where is the problem exactly? Shouldn't it have a flat % chance to proc? Is it possible that Molten may have "fixed" the previous Mastery bug by introducing an ICD for it? If so, then they totally overdid themselves with trying to fix it...
Regarding Killing Spree, I am aware of this. Basically, this means that your Killing Spree is just a minor DPS increase for when you're out of energy and nothing more. For 2.5sec you're doing 5 attacks (if it doesn't lag, Arcane Mages and SPs can relate) with both weapons, while at the same time you could do 2 attacks with both weapons and a SS, which is just slightly less damage when taking this bug into consideration. I have an idea how to fix this - think Bladestorm, where autoattacks still work while it's active. If the devs can relate from it, then I don't think it will be too hard to fix this.
And then there's also Killing Spree's hits not proccing Combat Potency. Heck, even Main Gauche may just turn out not to be proccing it. These issues just put the FoK + KS bug in a position, where even if it gets fixed it won't matter, because we'd be too energy starved to FoK in KS. I don't think that this is a complex bug to be fixed, KSpree's attacks count as autoattacks, apart from the whites, which should work during KSpree, so they should proc Combat Potency. MG is on the list of Combat Potency, so that's even out of the question.
These are my thoughts so far, but nothing solid's on the table yet.

I cannot say anything about Combat Potency, as it is supposed to be a % chance talent. I am also still unsure whether or not Rupture's damage is correct and how it should roll, especially when paired with Bandit's Guile. I am going to need assistance on these issues.
What I can say is that Killing Spree does *not* stop autoattacks (intended), but it also does not proc Combat Potency (bug). Killing Spree *does* proc poisons (intended). Killing Spree *does* proc Main Gauche (intended). FoK in Killing Spree does not work (bug). This was all tested on Neltharion and Frostwolf.
Also, Andreiul regarding your private msg to me - SnD does not affect ER (intended).

Just a bump, not much's been happening to the spec. It still does lower damage than intended with some minor known bugs. It's a competitive spec for any HC dungeon and for fights like Beth, Rhyo, Alys, Ragnaros (basically any non-tank'n'spank fight or fights, where you simply can't stand behind the boss for mechanical reasons), where it would outperform Subtlety.
If anyone has a link for an english 4.3.4 talent calculation, give me a heads-up, so I can update that.
