#Otl - Hero Trees

Fatebound
By itself the Fatebound tree is very passive and is just a couple of bonuses appended to our main builds.
As of 11.2 it does add complexity to the rotation to optimize the tier set bonuses out of stealth.
It causes every finisher to flip a 
Heads or 
Tails coin, heads coin being a buff that grants +10% damage and tails coin firing a cosmic damage proc. Rolling the same coins in a row will stack their buffs, heads coin gaining +2% towards the buff and the tails coin gaining +20% damage per stack.
The Tails coin is generally the stronger coin for Outlaw as we can inflate its crit rating with 
Between the Eyes.
Deal Fate, 
Double Jeopardy, and 
Edge Case don't directly change the rotation though be aware that Edge Case causes 
Adrenaline Rush to fire a tails coin at your target on cast, so it will break stealth and start combat if you have a target.
Rolling seven of the same coin in a row will grant the 
Lucky Coin bonus, which is a strong +7% agility which is worth about 5% dps. With the 11.2 tier set, gaining Lucky Coin is common, which helps alleviate a previos pain point of Fatebound, which was the RNG involved it its output.
Playing Fatebound with the new tier does enable an optimization with 
Vanish and 
Ghostly Strike usage, as described here.
Trickster
The Trickster tree is also fairly passive, but it does have some direct rotation changes.
It causes 
Sinister Strike or 
Ambush to fire an 
Unseen Blade every 20s, which deals damage and debuffs the target with Fazed to take extra damage. The talents 
Thousand Cuts and 
Disorienting Strikes allow the 20s Unseen Blade cooldown to reset itself or be bypassed.
Attacking Fazed targets grants 
Flawless Form, which is a rolling stack of finisher bonus damage, and 
Nimble Flurry which is a 20% multiplicative buff to 
Blade Flurry damage during Flawless Form.
Trickster requires the use of 
Killing Spree, which as of 11.2, is reworked and won't get you killed. You also have to track 
Escalating Blade, which triggers the capstone 
Coup de Grace at 4 stacks on your next 
Dispatch.
Killing Spree is a finisher and has higher priority than using Vanish, even at 2 charges, but it should not be used inside stealth windows. Coup de Grace also has higher priority than using Vanish, if both happen to be ready at the same time.
As Trickster you try not to Vanish if 
Killing Spree's cooldown is under ~20s or so, unless you absolutely must Vanish to preserve AR's active duration.
Trickster gameplay should be considered slightly harder than Fatebound as there is an extra overhead of watching Killing Spree and Coup de Grace while keeping up with the rest of the rotation.
Overall
As of 11.2, both trees are competitive in their respective content. With the new tier, Fatebound is considerably ahead of Trickster at 1 target, up to ~10% ahead. This means Fatebound will be used on most raid bosses, at least Plexus Sentinel, Loomithar, and Fractillus.
On the other end, Trickster is up to 6-8% stronger than Fatebound in 3+ target AoE. It is the default choice for keys, though Fatebound is still considerable, but perhaps not at the highest level of play.
In the raid, it is looking like Forgeweaver Araz and The Soul Hunters will prefer Trickster. Soulbinder Naazinhdri might as well, it depends on how long the adds survive on mythic. On the last 2 bosses, Nexus-King and Dimensius, it is a bit of an open question on whether Fatebound or Trickster should be used, but so far the consensus is leaning towards Fatebound.
