I'm playing a Scoundrel based TR and I'm used to a supporting role.

Now I'm thinking about the right Daily.

First slotted one is Whirlwind of Blades for groups. Second will beeither Courage Breaker or Shocking Execution to be used on bosses.

But I'm not sure, what will be more useful for the group. More control, to protect the rest or more damage, as my Damage Output is in the middle range.

Any ideas?

    Courage breaker is nice, but IMO it is only effective if your group is doing it wrong, besides it only prolongs the fight and delays the inevitable. Bosses in this game are so easy to manage that you should rather count the time spent in a dungeon overall. Remember you can run three to four Shocking back to back once the boss it lower than 20% health, which speeds up the execution of the last part of the bossfight (with a sigil of Devoted aiding your cause) and gives you a nice instance run time for multiple daily runs (aka farm it yourself).

    shocking execution sucks in pvp...
    You can hear the daily being cast and dodge it.

    Courage breaker owns..

    Whirlwind of blades is nice also.

    Bloodbath is ok vs single targets...

    Daily composition depends only on the build you are running. If you are playing scoundrel stunlock build you do not need additional delaying spell, but a good single execution that you can lay on the enemy while he is slowed and dazed at the same time.

    IT depends on the context and a playstyle.

    I use CB mainly for the debuffs and its closing ability. SE, I haven't tried in a while, but the new changes make it more usable. So, it depends on whether you want to go with boss management/debuff or killing it faster.

    Not really. Shocking execution is good for pvp, if someone starts dodge you use shocking execution when he ends dodge he dies, simple as that.
