I just finished trying the new build i was talking about.Its a build based on geting the more stealth possible WITHOUT lose ANY power to encounter or at wills.Also it focuses more on sustain while it provides tons of lifesteal,a decent amount of hp and defence and ofc a lot of stealth.The problem with this build is that you must upgrade your skill lever like a lot, to be able to use it efficiently on PVP.
The gear set i use on my PVP build it PVP T2 skulker's.All stats that provides are very needed in the current role of TR at PVPs.
It provides :
Armor penetration : Best stat for TR right now PVP/PVE wise.It has a softcap at 15% and a hard one at 24%.It procs perfect with at wills as you can do true dmg with them.It procs with encounters making you hit hard without stacking any power.
Critical Strike : Our bread and butter stat for the build i use (Cookie Cutter Executioner!).Max this stat to 50%.Dont go beyond that because DR hits so bad that its just dont worth it.Try to keep it up to 50%.With the current build i use i have to go with the full Ancient weapon set to archive that (+450 critical chance) but i only got main hand at the moment.
Health Points : With the current situation of tanky melee fest we NEED that.We need to be able to survive and sometimes stand in front of gwf and make him pay without getting 3 hit smacked by him on the face.For HP to be effective we also need a good amount of Defense.
Defense : And here it goes.A no brainer.Less dmg taken synergize fully with HP
Lifesteal : As I said above my build focus on sustained dmg so lifesteal is a must.You can refill a decent amount of hp staying out of combat throwing daggers.Or even lashing blade lifesteal can do the diference in a close 1v1.I also changed my rings to help me get more lifesteal so it can be more effective.Currently standing at 11% lifesteal.
In my new build im using
Q - Impossible to catch
E - Lashing Blade/Impact Shot/PoB
R - Shadow Strike
1 - Lurker's Assault
2 - Shocking Execution / Whirlwind
Passive1 - Sneak Attack
Passive2 - Skillfull Infiltrator
Q :Itc is a must for known reasons.A lifesaver.I use it to get away from cc ,to 1v1 any class with sly flurish ,to get away 100hp from the rogue chasing me,etc.When a cw is choking you to death press Q and you are free.
My E is my burst dmg encounter.I prefer lashing blade for puging but when it comes to players that know how to dodge and expect when i do it i use impact shot.Its 3 shots in 1 and also you can charge a free one if you use it from stealth.Also that small stun can be a lifesaver.When i have to fight a very good perma stelath tr (by perma i mean max int etc) i use pob to make him useless.I reveal him and i outdmg him easy.You can also synergize pob with whirlwind for massive aoe dmg and then finish off people cos spaming.
SS is a must , as you can do outplays with it. Extra stealth is always good because dont forget when we are stealthed we have dmg buff , crit severity buff, mobility / escape.Also with the new skulker T2 PVP set im using i get 5% more dmg in general.
LA is the what makes all that criers on forum geting crazy and asking for nerfs.When we press it we enter god mode for 10 seconds we can kill whoever we want because of the infinite stealth it provides and the extra 60% damage.If you get CCed (stunned silenced etc) you just lose it.
Also a tip.If you have the 20% more stealth feat and skulker's or common battlefield set you can do skills and dont get out of stealth while using LA.
Shocking execution is a simple finisher move that got nerfed to death and im happy about it.It was broken as hell and required 0 skills.We can still use it as finisher move to tanky classes like gf , gwf or cleric especially inside astral shields.
Whirlwind does aoe dmg and it stacks perfect with power.With my old (power stacking) i could make any dps to 1/4 of his hp when pressing it.Still prefer it over SE in heavy dps teams.
As for passives : Sneak Attack movement speed buff while stealthed makes you mobile and we need that.
Skillfull Infiltrator : Huge Solid buff.We take it.
My feats are the following :

Stacking +HP only is more effective.

As for alternative builds that do equal damage?
Such as?
Since there's no other stat that gives you +20% damage consistently.

No.
Power vs ArP Math:

Oh wait, I didn't.
I stated that defence isn't very effective, since most decent PvP'ers have at least 20% ArP, because all classes have that much damage resistance.
No other stat will give that kind of dmg:rating return.
And due to the prevalence of Burst damage in the current meta, it's much more important to have enough HP to survive the burst, instead of mitigating 5% of 25k damage.
Which is why I said +HP enchants are the superior option currently.
With HP enchants and PVP gear, it's possible to get ~30k+ HP.
Add Seal of the Executioner for sustain.
