I consider this to be a damage spike with condition stacking abilities. It works pretty well for me and is a terror against lone warriors, but i often find it going down to rangers because of their evade skills. I know there is no one perfect build out there, but here is mine.
Dagger Mastery: 15 (12 +3+1)
Critical Strikes : 10 (+1)
Shadow Arts : 10 (+1)
Palm Strike(Elite)
Leaping Mantis
Fox Fangs
Twisting Fangs
Blinding Powder
Shadow Refuge
Viper's Defense
Rez Sig or Caltrops

I usually lead with the Palm Strike because it lets me immediately go to Blinding Powder and then to Twisting Fangs and apply bleeding and deep wound. I follow up with Leaping Mantis and Fox Fangs for damage and to set up for the next Palm Strike/Twisting Fangs combo. Of course I have Vipers Defense up this whole time.
If the target is moving, I simply go for the 123 of Leaping Mantis for the condition and follow up with Fox Fangs and Twisting Fangs. Then hit with Palm Strike right into Blinding powder. Again, this is all with Viper's Defense up.
I use caltrops to get in range of a target whos a runner of course.
So what do you guys think?
