Assasin + Virulence, possible??

I am just wondering if its possible to get this idea to be effective..

I tried the following at RA, but not too satisifying:

Jagged Strike (Bleed)
Fox Fang (A sure hit)
Twisted Fang (Deep Wand)
Virulence (Poison, Deasese, Weakness)
Return (Cripple)
Distruptive Stab (Your target is going to self heal if you manage to get the conditions on)
Soul Feast (Self heal)
Rez sig


You'll be putting on 6 conditions in a short time, even a monk with condition removable will have hard time getting rid off all of them.

Tests in RA shows that lack of self heal usually lead to quick death to myself, ideas anyone?

Twisting fangs causes a deep wound AND bleeding, an option for you to get through your combo quicker is to drop fox fangs and jagged strike(Duplicate condition), and instead sub a defensive enchantment, and Golden Pheonix Strike(counts as off hand but dosn't have to follow a lead, but it misses if you arn't enchanted). Your chain would then go GPhS, Twisting Fangs, virulence, instead of relying on return to cripple your opponent, i would suggest using crippling daggers as a possible lead, as to slow them down before the full combo is thrown down, harder for them to run that way. Finally soul feast is a solid heal, but it relies on there being corpses, I would suggest trying to find a solid heal that avoids this delema, because corpses arn't always readily available w/all those necros about, and what if an MM is on your side? I like the virulence concept though, VERY nasty condition spam build... Good thinking :-D

personally i've faced a virulence assassin while boonprotting in Random... and seriously, 7 conditions stacked on top of you isn't that big of a deal. just keep spamming reversal and guardian and you can pretty much laugh it off.
