Just an idea for a build that is quite fun:

Assassin/Ranger

Dagger Mastery -15
Critical Strikes - 13
Beast Mastery -4
Shadow Arts -5
(not too sure on these last two, I'm not in the game at this time)

Jagged Strike
Fox Fangs
Critical Strike
Locusts Fury (E) for 32 seconds, +20% chance to double strike (=50%)
Tiger's Fury for 7 seconds, all attacks are 33% faster
Critical Eye / Shadow of Haste
Critical Defenses
Shadow Refuge

Basically, (I'm not certain of exact figure) you have an effective attack speed of around .6 seconds under Locusts Fury and Bestial Fury. The other skills are chosen for speed and upping crit percentage and energy, along with critical defenses which can be kept up forever at that attack speed (certainly with the garanteed critical strike, after fox fangs to avoid misses).

It would be great to fit Way of Perfection in as well, but I don't have the space, unless you change the 3 combo to a 2 (GPS + Crit Strike), which might be fun too. I like making my opponents bleed on top of the fast attacks though, so for now I haven't used WoP.

I use Shiro's Blades for the vampiric effects, and it is really fun seeing an explosion of numbers above the target as you slice into them at double speed. Most enemies I don't even need to really use my combo, they just fall down so quickly

Edit: I just saw some other posts elsewhere on a similair build, so anyway, just my opinion: it's great fun
