Some rogue questions~~

Got a few questions to ask about rogues:
Just as a preface, I'm going to be a not so stealth PVE-only rogue, using executioner paragon feats. (Stealth is basically only going to be used to proc lashing blades guaranteed crit.)
Feat Build:
HEROIC:
T1: Action Advantage (5/5) Weapon Mastery (3/3) Toughness (1/3)
T2: Cunning Ambusher (3/3)
T3: Endless Assault (3/3)
T4: Scoundrel Training (3/3) Discipline of Strength (2/3) << I'm half orc, pure dex/str statted
PARAGON:
Executioner:
T1: Dazzling Blades (5/5)
T2: Devastating Shroud (5/5) (<<Relies on Shocking Execution, if i don't use SE, i'd switch to 1% Action point on kill)
T3: Critical Teamwork (5/5)
T4: Deadly Momentum (5/5)
T5: Critical Overrun (1/1)
Scoundrel:
T1: Underhanded Tactics (4/5)
Unspent Feats: 5 points.
Intended Powers:
At will: Duelist's Flurry + Sly Flourish (Mainly flurry, but flourish for those mobs that travel too much or die too fast to be worth flurrying)
Ecounter: Wicked Reminder, Lashing Blade, +1 (To be determined...Blitz, Deft Strike, etc, anything that fits the need of the situation.)
Daily: Whirling blades + Either lurking shadows or shocking execution (pending on replies in question 1:)
^^^ Possibly lurking shadows AND shocking execution, use lurking in first 50% of boss life, and shocking in the last 50%, since it scales up in damage based on mobs HP being lower
Feat: (Not concrete on these yet...)
Tactics (+15% action point generation)
Skillful Infiltrator (+Runspeed, Crit chance and (maeh) deflection)
Question 1:
Daily powers:
Shocking execution (which can be buffed with a +10% crit chance/damage bonus for 6s after use) or Lurking shadows? (For single target DPS)....having a very hard time deciding here due to not having shocking execution and not knowing how it performs.
Question 2:
Those last 5 paragon feat points?
Any suggestions to the skill usage or changing of feats would be appreciated as well~ Thanks for your time!

Tier 1/3/4 - looks fine. however,
Tier 2 - I would change Cunning Ambusher to Swift footwork, the 10% stamina regen helps quite a bit considering how much you will be dodging red zones and in pvp. The 6s dmg boost after leaving stealth seems a little lacking considering you dont plan on having any stealth replinishers so you wouldnt have stealth but maybe once in a fight, twice maybe on bosses.. but the faster dodge would help more on bosses.
A1: Luker's Assault really shines when combined with stealth + stealth feats ( which you didnt get), So even not knowing exactly what shocking execution does, it seems like the better choice.
A2: I can see how your having a hard time to place those 5 extra points, You could put them in Press the Advantage and use Impossible to Catch as a dps cooldown to burn down bosses, or Nimble Blade for extra damage, or Sharpened Steel for a bit more crit (but wicked reminder is more for the debuff, so its a little meh). Out of the 3 Nimble Blade seems like the better choice for your build IMO.
I think lurking shadows is likely to do more overall damage assuming you can keep uptime on your target high. However that isn't always possible.
