Patch 1.18.1 broke the rogue class: please fix it

Since this is my first time playing Rogue, I thought it might be useful to share how the current poison system feels from the perspective of a first time Rogue player.

Honestly, I find it pretty frustrating:

• While leveling, I mostly ignored Elementals because they were immune to the poison I had available.
• When I finally unlocked a poison that worked on them, I was happy at first, but then realized it meant constantly swapping poisons depending on the enemy type.
• In dungeons, especially ones with a mix of Humanoids, Undead and Elementals, I’m constantly checking whether I have the right poison equipped.

It’s distracting and honestly takes a lot of the fun out of playing the class.

A simple solution without a complet rework of assassination could be "apply poison" instant cast. Or if you want to be tedious a really shot cast of 0.2-0.3s so you have to stand to apply poison and loose time and therefore dps anyway. Just less tedious. Making rogue a bit faster while usefull in many cases don't save you from chasing the raid after changing the poison. And honestly chasing the raid all the time is very tedious.

This whole swapping business is such a buzzkill, and honestly, you were robbed of the most fun part of levelling rogue. Pre 1.18.1, when Dissolvent could be used against any mob type, you used to become a killing machine at 52 that would slice through any mob easily until 60. I used to level rogue alts just to have that experience.
