So you want to make a level 19 Rogue WSG Twink? Well, it's not going to be easy and it's not going to be fun (until it's done that is), and it is most certainly not going to be cheap.
First thing's first; selecting your race. For Horde your choices are Orcs, Trolls, Forsaken, and Blood Elves. For the Alliance you have the choice of Gnomes, Night Elves, Dwarves, and Humans. Choose carefully because you will be spending A LOT of time and money on this character. You may want to consider the racials or the starting stats, or like me, just pick on looks alone. You can find all the racial skills and starting attributes on the race page of your choice.

Dodge Bonus
Just as a side note, 12 Dodge Rating transfers into approx. 2% dodge on a level 19 rogue. So 2 [Meadow Ring of Eluding] with the dodge enchants on the cloak([Enchant Cloak - Dodge]), helmet ([Arcanum of Protection]), and legs ([Arcanum of Protection]), translates into 10% increased dodge. Then, if you go through the trouble to acquire 2 [Arena Grand Master], you will have yourself an extra +14% dodge. That by itself is worthwhile. When combined with the Night Elf Racial Ability that provides +1% dodge, you have 15% extra dodge. Then, once you add all of your agility, you can easily pass 50% dodge... without even using evasion... and then, you become even more deadly.
