Skills: [Attribute] (Energy, Cast Time, Recharge TIme)
1) Savage Shot [Marksmanship] (10,0.5,5) Bow Attack: If Savage Shot hits, your target's action is interrupted. If that action was a spell, you strike for 26 damage.

2) Needling Shot [Marksmanship] (5,1,4) Bow Attack: Needling Shot strikes for only 18 damage and moves faster than normal. If needling Shot strikes a foe below 50% health, Needling shot recharges instantly.

3) Whirling Defense [Expertise] (10,0,60) Stance: For 20 seconds, you have 75% chance to block attacks. Whenever you block an arrow this way, adjacent foes take 11 piercing damage.

4) Tiger's Fury [Beast Mastery] (10,0,10) Stance: All your non-attack skills are disabled for 5 seconds. For 8 seconds, you attack 33% faster than normal.

5) Read the Wind [Marksmanship] (5,2,12) Preparation: For 24 seconds, your arrows move twice as fast and deal 10 extra damage.

6) Broad Head Arrow [Marksmanship] (25,0,20) Bow Attack: You shoot a broad head arrow that moves slower than normal. If it hits, target foe is dazed for 18 seconds, and if target foe is casting a spell that spell is interrupted. This is an elite skill.

7) Favorable Winds [Marksmanship] (5,5,60) Nature Ritual: Create a level 9 Spirit. For creatures within its range, arrows move twice as fast as normal and strike for +6 damage. This Spirit dies after 134 seconds.

8) Resurrection Signet [none] (0,5,0) Signet: Resurrect target party member. You may use this skill only once per mission.

FWinds + RtW, Broad Head Arrow with a silencing string, and switch to a composite. Attack until they're below half health, then spam needling. I'm debating the need for Tigers Fury with needling shot already present, and I think I need another bow attack to get them below 50% in the first place. After that though, they shouldn't be able to cast anything faster than .75 seconds with daze on :-D. Zealous String would be good for needling spam as well.
