Sword and dagger rogue talent specs change a little bit going into phase 5, so here’s a breakdown of the phase 5 talent specs for rogues.
Video version of this guide:

Dagger rogue pve talent specs – 15/31/5
‘Take your pick’ filler talents:

Here are the common choices:
Here is an example of a typical dagger rogue pve talent spec for phase 5 AQ:

Sword/fist rogue pve talent specs (non human) – 19/32/0
Note: Fist spec just takes the 5/5 Sword Specialization talents and swaps it over to 5/5 Fist Weapon Specialization. Everything else is the same.
‘Take your pick’ filler talents:
Sword have a slightly bigger range of talents to play around with in the combat tree in particular. You have 8 ‘filler’ talent points that need to be assigned in the early section of the combat tree and 2 in the assassination tree.
Here are the common choices:
Here’s a fairly standard example of a typical sword rogue pve talent spec for phase 5 AQ:

Sword rogue pve talent specs (human) – 20/31/0

I’d recommend you put that extra point into either improved eviscerate or improved poisons (depending on which you pick/prefer).
Here’s a fairly standard example of a Human sword rogue spec:
