I don't think you understand what's going on. It used to do a flat out 190%, that was because of the many different ranks increasing it. Now however it scales with player level, meaning whenever you the learn the ability, which as stated it does 90% of weapon damage. It will continue to get better and better until (for now) when you reach the level cap.
Play what you want for now.

\o/ this makes my warrior happy
no more "lol shadowstep ambush 1 shot GG" in battlegrounds
if you are dying so bad you must be really bad. also ambush works only on low levels, the more you level up the more useless ambush becomes.
garrore and/or cheapshot are much better openers.

i'm not a pvp guy, but shadowstep ambush was op still in tbc at low levels. i tend to ignore everything that is not endgame, and it's my fault.

I brushed the dust off my rogue earlier. It IS sickening. I'm level 37 right now, and the only characters that survive a Shadowstep + Ambush are mail wearers. Of course a quick eviscerate solves that problem.
Right now, there is no better opener than Ambush in the 30s. Rogues really need a nerf at low levels.

But didn't Blizz say they were reworking the stats system so they could tune combat easier? Get to tunin'!

Actually, the answer is to actually put more resilience gear options into the lower level game for those players that are smart enough to get it. There SHOULD be ownage for players that think they can waltz into a BG and play with their pve gear.
(And, I'm saying this as a guy that is primarily a pve type.)
I think that nerfing ambush at lower levels would be rewarding the lazy folks that just do pvp to get uber xp during Call To Arms (or their daily random win xp) and expect things to be as easy as their pve game.
Besides, I think that there are other classes that are just as overpowered at lower levels, just in different ways. A priest or Paladin may not be able to one-shot you, but a good player in either of those classes can pretty much own a BG if they know what they're doing.
(EDIT: insert "lower level" into the first sentence.)

Lower level battlegrounds are made for casual, non necessarily as competitive PvP.
Jesus, the amount of qq i hear of rogues in lowrr brackets compared to other classes.
I dont recall people qqing this much abt pallies in 60/70 bracket.
Now, I'm not saying it needs to hit like a noodle, but the ability for x1-x5 being able to take out x9's in 1 GCD is wrong. Its just unacceptable, and I play a rogue.
I have a lvl 16 lock with 3 heirlooms and i dont get killed 1 gcd.
