Staark is moving towards a slight modificaiton of the popular Assasination/Sublety build with cold blood, preparation, and as much seal fate as I can. My final build isn't set in stone, and I'll probably spend some time and gold at 60 to figure out what works best.

I'm not sure I can give up Imp SS, but I haven't tried without it, and 5/5 seal fate vs. 3/5 may change my mind. Also I believe that for PvP I'll want to change from 5/5 Master of Deception to 5/5 Camouflage, with my experience showing that speed is king.

For PvE I'm sticking with a sword/mace in mainhand with a weapon delay of at least 2.7. Dagger off hand is mainly for stats and applying poisons, so I prefer 1.4 monkey blades. Cheapshot to open, else garrote if I want to be able to pull a mob. Occasionally vs high AC mobs I'll open with a garrote + (immediate) 2pt rupture, since fights vs. even levels don't often last long enough to really justify a 3pt, definitely not 4.

For endgame PvP I will make an honest effort to move away from the FoTM stun build I'm currently employing and use Imp Ambush/Backstab with Barman Shanker, making extensive use of a weapon switch macro to load up a slow main hand (like everyone else I'll be looking for a Krol Blade). This will let me use both approaches situationally. My talent build will only sacrifice Hemmorage vs. the classic stun build. Downside: I'll be looking for both of the most popular main hand weapons in the game - but I like PvE.
