Just did some math.

At 12 mastery w/ 16 crit (to hell, its 16!) you have 32% crit chance. You max at around 23-47 damage (+15% +20%). With frenzy, thats 39 DPS with a average damage of 46. That's auto attacking.

Here's the build i thought off...

Assassin/Warrior
Level: 20

Critical Strikes: 16 (12+4)
Shadow Arts: 3
Hammer Mastery: 12

Backbreaker [Elite] (Hammer Mastery)
Crushing Blow (Hammer Mastery)
Mighty Blow (Hammer Mastery)
Irresistible Blow (Hammer Mastery)
Frenzy (Warrior other)
Sprint (Strength)
Bull's Strike (Strength)
Shadow Refuge (Shadow Arts)

That's for AB, swap bull's strike for rez in RA. Shadow refuge can be swapped for a different heal, maybe go for 15 crit w/ 6 tactics for healing sig, or 6 shadow for shadow refuge.

Don't know what you used for model, but you might, just for arguments sake, take a thumber build from the Ranger threads and see if a comparable thumber build can be made out of the assassin/wa, using the ranger build as a guideline/model. This is what I am going to do with my axe build, take the sword build as a model.
