Hey Everyone! I been lurking on here for a long time, looking at other people's posted builds which have given me a ton of information to help refine my build. Since I've been playing it, I've had a ton of success topping the paingiver chart. I am almost always the top in Lostmauth and stay very competitive in other dungeons, even against top geared GWFs. My build is here:

Other than that, it looks solid.
Dying Breath and Twisted grin are very good in pve, but if I take them, I'll have to give up my back alley tactics, which I find to give me better overall damage against bosses, especially during the window to proc shadows of demise.
I picked Arterial Cut over Grim Pleasure because I believe Arterial Cut is more effective, with it's 15% crit severity for every attack from stealth, at increasing damage to proc Shadow of Demise than a flat 5% damage that procs partway through my 6 second window. But, you have a good point. If I switched to Grim Pleasure, it might increase my overall DPS for sure.
I definitely have more than 10% in LS, but I didn't notice a big difference when I used Endless Consumption. Do you know how often EC procs?
You have a good point about action advantage. I know lucky skirmishes is really good, but I may toy around with improved cunning sneak and blade flurry to increase my damage to mobs.
I think that the extra 20,000 hp you get from the defensive boons do help mitigate some of the bigger hits I take occasionally. 20,000 damage is so minuscule compared to the rest that I feel like I just get more mileage from the HPs.
Thanks again for the feedback! I really appreciate being able to pick the brains of people who probably know more than I do!
- Twilight Adept is great.
- Twisted Grin is pretty much useless in PvE because it only applies on your next hit. You want to use this to hit hard with a single hit, but those high base damage sources are usually encounters and TR encounters have quite some CD on them. You can use it for leveling, to 1hit groups of monsters with Dazing Strike.
- Grim Pleasure can be better if you are working with really high power, so basically end-game gear.
This build is tailored for end-game rogues:

"I use Impossible to Catch far far to often to give it up. Automatically deflect 75% of damage and resist control effects? Yes please. Plus, it gives me an enormous amount of satisfaction to watch a dragon scatter everyone with a wing blast except me chopping away at his soft underbelly. Did you see how far that Great Weapon Fighter flew? Yes. Yes I did."
GWF's surely shrug those off as much as any TR. They are immune while Unstoppable.
