IIRC, you can only successfully sneak attack once per round...

Once per turn.

"Beginning at 1st level, you know how to strike subtly and exploit a foe’s distraction. Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you have advantage on the attack roll"

Marking in the hands of a rogue will open more opportunities for extra sneak attacks. dual whip rogues are going to be even more fun now, you can sneak attack on your turn and then 2 more times on the marked targets and a possible 4th time on someone else's turn using your reaction..

yea, but does your rouge really want people focus firing on him?

Anyone stupid enough to provoke opportunity attacks from a rogue -- even without this option -- is not likely to live long anyway.

Hmm very nice. Are you able to share what the facing rules are, and whether they change OA's. I thought I read somewhere that facing means you only threaten squares in front of you. I'm wondering if this is right, and if so, does that mean that by trying to move around behind you, an enemy would trigger an OA by leaving the squares you threaten.

cheers!

The rules say that you can normally attack only in front of you, so - even if its' not called out - I agree that an opponent circling to get behind you, triggers an OA.

Keep in mind that you can also change your facing as a reaction.
