With the newly buffed [Fevered Dreams], I'm trying to come up with a way to use it for my benefit when I play as an assassin. So far I've developed it into this, so now I'm looking for some suggestion on improving it. I do not really know if this is even on par with the standard Moebius+DB chain, but I really wanted to play something different from time to time (as the Moebius+DB chain is extremely tedious and boring in the long run). So this is what I've been playing with my heroes lately:

[build prof=Assassin/Mesmer][Fevered Dreams][Death's Charge][Black Mantis Thrust][Sneak Attack][Lotus Strike][Twisting Fangs][Black Spider Strike][Feigned Neutrality][/build]
[build prof=Ranger/Necromancer][Broad Head Arrow][Volley][Poison Tip Signet][Weaken Armor][Savage Shot][Lightning Reflexes][Troll Unguent][Resurrection Signet][/build]
[build prof=Ranger/Ritualist][Barrage][Splinter Weapon][Distracting Shot][Concussion Shot][Savage Shot][Screaming Shot][Nightmare Weapon][Death Pact Signet][/build]
[build prof=Necromancer/Monk][Jagged Bones][Animate Bone Minions][Putrid Flesh][Death Nova][Foul Feast][Infuse Condition][Dwayna's Sorrow][Resurrection Chant][/build]

[Sneak Attack] can be swapped for [Blinding Powder] if you don't have a high rank in the Ebon Vanguard. Take 2 (1 if you're feeling cocky) healer henchies, and 2 warrior henchies. I tend to rush in using Deaths Charge, load of the chain, and then use Feigned while running off again. When Death's isn't recharged, I aggro the mob with feigned on me instead.

Build is pretty self-working (providing blind + daze as shutdown to mobs), but you might want to micro the BHA to make sure it hits the right target. I've added concussion shot on the other ranger as a safety pin incase Jin is so stupid as to not follow the targets I call, but that can be swapped.
The necro builds up a small army of minions, used for transferring conditions and for minion bombing, giving damage to the opposing mob and health to the party.
The barrage ranger is just there to keep most of the spells from being activated.

Any suggestions would be helpful, or am I just better off running the standard Moebius+DB chain again?

imo, that build could be greatly improved by adding [[Fragility] somewhere. I can't think of which of those builds could take it, but maybe if you brought another player?

[Maybe ..;OwVj0xjcwQ3AEhDfIM1gDQTQCAA]

basically same idea, but with an IAS, some defense and just one combo.
Bleeding, Deep Wound and Blind. Poison is covered with the ranger.

or

[lala;OwVj0xjcwQ3A2kGfIM1gDQTQCAA]

Switched Blind for Cripple.

[Another;OwVj0xjcwQ3AEhEf7P1gDQTQCAA]

No bleeding (what can be added with the ranger), however the recharge on the skills went from 15 (TF) to 6 (critical strike)

Heroes don't use [Dwayna's Sorrow] worth beans. You'd have to micro it.

use a mesmer on your team instead of the barrager with ineptitude + fragility, swap out sneak attack for another skill (club of a thousand bears is good), swap out res chant, dwaynas sorrow, and infuse condition for aegis prot spirit and rebirth

mesmer: more damage better source of anti melee/blind
Club of a Thousand Bears: Knockdowns are always good on a sin bar
Aegis, Prot Spirit, Rebirth: They work better then the other skills and provide better protection

also you might want to consider bringing dark bond
infuse really isn't needed as your monks should be able to get rid of the conditions on the necro fairly quickly and if you run darkbond he can afford to have the conditions on him as he'll only be taking half damage

i think the barrager is to keep the dazed people interupted, thus keeping 6 casters down, not just 2 from the assassin and other ranger.

Switch Savage Shot for D-shot on the BHA.
Maybe switch out Weaken Armour too, it isn't affected by Expertise and can get energy hungry on your Ranger.
