Question on GEAR, for PvP Executioner Rogue

So I am having a hard time deciding which route to take with my character as far as gear goes. My intent is to continue to do TONS of damage to single targets. I like to pop in take out some people, escape, and repeat. So far I have not had much trouble with the way I’m playing, but want to maximize the crit and damage dealing. I also would like to capitalize on my life steal if that’s possible in this class. I am currently fully PvP geared with some extras (see below) Is the PvP gear really THAT bad for me to use vs the T1 or T2 counterparts. I am only questioning this because I LOVE having 20% extra stealth and the extra life steal that the PvP set provides. I do not feel that switching it out for another set ability is worth it. Can anyone help me out with this or throw out some suggestions?

Here is what I am working with:

Encounters: Dazing Strike, Lashing Blade, and Deft Strike
At Wills: Sly Flourish and Cloud of Steel
Daily: Shocking Execution

GEAR
HEAD: Battlefield Scavenger's Helmet (Dark Ench, Rank 5)
ARMOR: Battlefield Scavenger's Armor (Dark Ench, Rank 5 + Lesser Briartwine Ench)
ARMS: Battlefield Scavenger's Bracers (Dark Ench, Rank 5)
MAIN HAND: Master Assassin's Long Dagger of the Drake (Lesser Tenebrous Ench + Lesser Vorpal Ench)
OFF HAND: Master Assassin;s Ornate Dagger (Azure Ench, Rank 5)
FEET: Battlefield Scavenger's Boots (Dark Ench, Rank 5)

NECK: Grand Necromancer's Necklace of Undeath (Azure Ench, Rank 5)
R RING: Minor Grand Necromancer's Necklace of Undeath (Dark Ench, Rank 5)
L RING: Minor Slave Master's Ring of Control (Azure Ench, Rank 5)
WAIST: Minor Grand Slave Master's Belt of Control (Dark Ench, Rank 5)
SHIRT: Trickter's Exquisite Shirt (NO SLOT- Yes I know I need the gemmed one)
TROUSERS: Trickster's Exquisite Pants (NO SLOT- Yes I know I need the gemmed one)

Thanks all!

    I just swapped out the bracers and boots for the Elusive Agent's (+400 Recovery) and I have to tell you I kind of like it. Sure you lose the 20% stealth but you can refill that meter quick with Shadow Strike if your aim is to stay stealthed.

    My only issue with the pvp set is the 0 power on it , life steal is great if you have enough dmg that it generates some thing substantial, the issue is that we are a lot of the time in the shadows and come out for the kill only to jump back in. Why is that an issue well its simple we don't stand there out of stealth long enough for the LS to make any real diff.

    T1 shades is what I'm using and that gives you about 600 LS and Arm Pen if you are staying on target for more than 4 hits, being a 4 stack buff u get some if you are out for less but really you will hit more than 4 times unless you are dropping a daily.

    The Arm Pen is great for taking down GF, GWF and DC's and the several hundred power isn't exactly terrible. Deft strike basicly gives you stealth on demand so the 20% isn't a huge gain imo.

    any way just one opinion but I hope it helps.
