Default Looking for good W/A PvE build

I just love W/A combination. Dunno why. Are there any effective PvE builds for W/A?

i use W/A a lot in pve, mainly for the [skill]flail[/skill][skill]dash[/skill] synergy (mainly cancelling flail with dash every time i need to move)

other nice stuff is running something like [skill]crippling slash[/skill][skill]gash[/skill] and using [skill]signet of malice[/skill] to get rid of conditions on yourself

[skill]disrupting dagger[/skill] if you need interupts

@bog boy: Dragon Slash returns adrenaline. At 16 swords, it returns 5 adrenaline, making it easier to spam sever and gash. Add in Sun and Moon Slash and that makes more damage. It's all about one skill helping the other skills. Quivering Blade is sometimes a better choice, but in PvE, I'd go D Slash.

To work off of what the others already said, there are some skill combos that allow you to alternate Dragon Slash and Sun & Moon Slash literally every attack for extremely solid DPS... Therefore allowing you to spam a 10-adrenaline skill more than the 4-adrenaline Quivering Blade could be.
