I'm trying to get my TR build perfect. Still new to the game only been playing about 6 weeks. I love the tr and rogues in general but it's way too under whelming. Please help me with a build and rotations I like the execution builds but not married to it.

Here is my build: http://nwcalc.com/index.html#/tr?b=2xgm:yufk6p:a5u8:a11gc,13j3iei:1000000:1z05000:1uu0uuv&h=0&p=min&o=0
I am pure PVE. My Daily skills are Lurkers Assault and Whirlwind of Blades.
My Encounters are Smoke Bomb, Dazing Strike and Lashing Blade(replaced by Blade Flurry in places with many trash).
My At-Wills are Duelists Flurry and Cloud of Steel.
My Class Features are Skillfull Infiltrator and Invisible Inflitrator.
Focus on Power and Crit.
My rotation for bosses is: Duelists Flurry(DF) > activate Stealth just before DF ends and hit Dazing Strike > Smoke Bomb > Lurkers Assault > Stealth > Lashing Blade > DF > Stealth > Dazing strike > DF > ...
Trash rotation is: Smoke Bomb > Stealth > Whirlwind of Blades(WOB) > Dazing Strike > Blade Flurry...
Summoned companion with r12 bondings makes huge difference so i got that before i reached 3k item lvl.
If you dont have bondings use Ioun stone instead summoned companions.
Active companions for me are Fire Archon(summoned), Air archon, Siege Master, Erinyes and Dancing Blade. I am gonna try 3 companions with Combat Advantage bonus as well instead Blade, Siege master and Erinyes.
I am pretty satisfied with my build so far. If you need a PVP build tho i cant help you there
But give wicked reminder a try against bosses as encounter, even if it the tooltip shows a smaller number in dps against DS and LB, but the debuff for the whole group makes it worth i think, and you could increase the dps of your following attacks.
Also on trashmobs personally i start with a stealthed Whirlwind (best in combination with AA from an AC/DC) -> restealth -> dazing (Sod procc, so aim for an add that is not oneshot, depends on the gear) -> smoke -> BF.
With the buff from the DC the raw power can increase up to a few 100k (depends on the gear from the TR and the DC) so all encounters benefits from that, so even the hallways in CN could be cleared in just a few seconds.
To the Op:
You should always think about: everything that is stunned, dazed could not hurt you ,so for normal adds a stealthed dazing strike, smoke bomb should help you for better surviving, and even if it not that neccessary dodge one more if you think you should.
Duellist Flurry could give you immunity, but if you are not sure about it...dodge one more^^.
To blade Flurry as third encounter..yes it is a little bit tricky at the beginning, having a cooldown in a situation you will need it, or something like that.
But if you you do the combo daze (stealthed, sod proccing), smoke, blade flurry, you should always spamming bf until the cooldown starts, even if is not necessary bc all adds are dead.
So the cooldown from smoke and bf is more or less the same (1 second delay).
And forget path of blades..its useless, it gains aggro, it doesn't procc sod and i can't count anymore how often other TRs f***** up skirmishes like Throne bc of PotB.
To PvP: same as blur
Lifesteal is nice but it doesnt improve your dps and its expensive to focus on defense slots too, except you have Lifesteal from Guild Boon. Same for Armor Enchant, i am using just Lesser Soulforged. Vorpal for weapon anytime.
I run mostly Ndemo since i dont need twisted ichor anymore, ELOL, POM and ESOT, rarely CN. I had same phase like you, but it gets better when u gear up a bit, r7 or r8 offense enchants are fine on character, focus on Bondings and Companions Offense Enchants.
Also dont be surprised if you lose to some ppl in dps, game is far from balanced and many things are not working as intended and from my personal experience CN is a place with no love for TR's lol, i lose in there to every SW i have run with, no matter the IL xD

A guildmate from me made his own build using not only BAT he also skilled "Press the advantage" from scoundrel, which fits with his aggressive playstyle.
I can show you his build and even if you can't understand german, feats are shown, and as always test builds first on the preview server if it fits for you, or take it as advice to build your own:

Focus power and critical if you want to be supported by healers
I stacked 14000 armor pen about 120% worth, and I noticed that players with 40% worth armor pen and about 14000 critual were doing triple my damage in pve.
There is a fine balance between the two.
I still enjoy my build but it could have been so much better
Also with new Fangbreaker dungeon, coming soon to PC, def slots might help u survive but its hardest content so far and requires 3.1l IL so i guess u should not worry about it yet.
And yes, we have 100% crit in Stealth but most dmg comes from Duelists Flurry so u need to have decent crit % outside stealth as well.
Fun part is when you move fast as mounts

Because of the debuff (Darkfire?) ability, the Drow race is (for me) one of the best Choice for an PvE Tr.
Sure Half Orc could be better in (personal) dps, crit sev and so on.
Sure Halfling could be better for Pvp Tr (not sure bc i refuse to play PvP).
I am playing an Half Elve Pve Tr since open beta, yes not the best choice (maybe the more defensive variant from Half Orc), but with proper gear and knowledge of the class, race choices are not that important anymore.
So i would never ever reroll her in another Race, but my only choice would be a....Drow, bc personally i am more a fan of buff/debuf synergy in an party instead of personal dps.
Power+Armor Penetration
Or
Power+Critical Strike
Or
Armor Pen+Critical Strike
I just reach lvl 70 today.. item lvl 1720
Sorry my nubby question..
IMO, aim for 60% resistance ignored (RI) in armour penetration, about 10-14+k crit (50%+ crit chance), and as much power as you can get. Power you never stop stacking, really.
There are a few alternate setups, but this generally works very well for PvE.
Now my power 8000, critical Strike 3900, Armor Pen 2000
No Epics in my gear yet.. :/
Ideas for Epics Gears fast?
OR you can skip ahead right to the newer elemental epic weapons by speaking to the archdruid in Protector's Enclave - most people will go for the Burning (Fire) or Drowned (Water) weapons in particular.
Then, once you get to a higher item level, you can start eyeing up Twisted weapons by farming epic Demogorgon.
The Drowned weapons are generally viewed as the best PvP weapons; and either the Drowned or Twisted for PvE. (Twisted is better dps; Drowned is better survivability).
