Just wondering which one would be best and reasons why?

    It would depend on what the Master Duelist 4 piece counts as a hit. If it's like everything else then you'd essentially be cutting one second off your CD's every 4 seconds. If it's broken, then you'd cut a few seconds off every time you flurry.

    I don't really like the Shadewalker one though. A burst of recovery is kind of useless. Especially in a game where we have no real way to track individual buffs other than learning the icon and looking to the left hand corner of the screen.
    Check out my guide to Trickster rogue DPS, the most in depth and up to date guide currently available.

    You can also see a better formatted version of the guide here.

    Shadewalker is burst of power and lifesteal, the burst of recovery is elusive, which i also believe is uselesss

    Actually this raises your gear score by quite a bit. There is a guy with 12k GS running 2 of each of these sets.

    Swashbuckling set, That is all.
    Common sense is hard to come by around here it seems..

    Once they fix Master Duelist's to work with Duelist's Flurry it will be the best set by a huge margin. Power is a trash stat and takes around 600 to get 1% damage on dazing strike vs only 192 crit to get the same damage increase. Not to mention quite a few abilities only scale off of weapon damage(see Whirlwind of blades).

    Being able to use smoke bomb and dazing strike more often is infinitely more valuable to a dungeon party than any pure stat set bonus. I've cleared everything bar Dracolich and the last boss of the mindweaver place with a DC GF CW CW TR setup using no exploits, every dungeon is just tank on boss, rest of party aoe's down adds and throws dps at boss when they have a spare second or two. Aoe dps and CC is all that matters, trash consists of me and the 2 CW alternating aoe ccs on the mobs between singularities with the trash barely ever being able to even attack us.

    this.

    power is pretty useless, with the set bug fixed, every duelist flurry shave off almost 2 seconds off every encounter cooldown, with proper setup, you can either chain CC or chain stealth..
