This! Right now, TR is the vicious warrior that jumps among the enemy, hacking and slashing, killing things before you can even see them. It shouldn't replace the fighters and you're correct there imho.
I have an alt TR with executioner path. I just created it to know my enemy. When I use Lashing Blade on someone with the first strike and all, even if they survive the initial attack they can't run away from SoD. Seriously it is not a fight, it is execution. You may have fun killing things like that, it is certainly not…
