The gold medal belongs to Greater Pyroblast.
But I swear, this single spell prevents me from playing Outlaw. I’d love to give the spec a try, but I just hate this spell so much. I wish they’d delete it instead of trying to make it work. A cooldown isn’t enough.
I feel like they could have just replaced it with Slice & Dice baseline and people would be fairly happy.
Instead S&D is baseline for everyone on top of Roll the bones.
People seem happy that it now has a CD since you’re physically unable to spam roll until it’s good but eh, it’ll still feel bad not to get the best one.
What happen if you use it multiple times quickly ? random effects stack or get replaced ?
Too many times I keep forgetting to use this spell. 
I guess it fits the WoW theme very well: RNG.
Edit:
You waste your rotation.
Each time you roll is one less attack you are performing.
It requires combo points, meaning each roll takes all of of your resource and you need to build it up again.
It’s like playing in a casino: get what you get or risk another round not doing a powerful attack for a chance of getting that buff you wanted.
You can risk 1-4 combo points for a chance of getting that desired buff. The more combo points, the longer the duration.
They also don’t stack, they get replaced.
Cheers.
I checked it right now just to be 100% sure, and the buffs are replaced every time you use RtB. Doesn’t matter : the combo points, duration etc. Every time you use RtB buffs are replaced with new ones
That’s how I’ve played it with the suboptimal talent, but that’s not great for obvious reasons. Urgh…
Didn’t they add SnD back in SL and made RtB CD for Outlaw? I swear I read about it somewhere! That being said, I’m not following rogue changes as much as I follow Priest/Mage/Pala/Druid changes so IDK much about the current state of the rogue (aside from the fact that Subtlety Legendary is hella overtuned on beta)
They did, but it still exists and I dislike that.
I quite enjoy the spell to be honest, yeah it can suck when you keep rolling bad buffs, but I like how it mixes things up a little depending on what you roll.
I have a weak aura which colour codes the buffs I have to make it easier to track, and I always prioritize ‘Between the Eyes’ over it and I rarely find myself struggling to keep up the deeps.
I think its problem is more that some of the buffs are really poor compared to the others. That’s what should be balanced, if they were balanced better so we felt less inclined to reroll for a better buff we would be using it as intended.
Roll the Bones should work exactly the same way as Twisted Fate’s Pick a Card skill 
I just want outlaw to stay the way it is, the SL changes are complete garbage 
Most of the Rogue PvP talents are useless.
I feel like “Create Firestone” beats out both Greater Pyroblast as well as Roll the Bones.
Roll the Bones is awful, I agree, giving it a cooldown makes it even worse, but there’s many many poorly designed spells throughout the history of WoW.
They made it an instant in SL so you can use it before a pull but it’s a 30sec buff on a 45sec cd. Most raid fights it’ll just be hit this button on cooldown. Thrilling.
