Fact of the matter is, more energy frees up points from Critical Strikes. Having to put 13 in CS hurts the effectiveness of a good PvP build (or so I've found). Figure you have to put 16 in Daggers, then it takes a 12 in CS to get the 13 required for the energy management it provides. This leaves you with a 3 in Shadow or Deadly...not enough.
With a set of Shrouded, you can spec 12/10/8 with the 8 in Critical Strikes and the 10 in Shadow without having to really worry about running out of energy mid-combo.
Just my opinion
