The build is really easy to run. Basically you apply Critical Agility before you go into a battle and then just spam your skills. I save Critical Strike for if my Critical Agility or Defenses are about to run out.

Considering how enchantment reliant the build is, there's not any reason you shouldn't run [skill]Golden Phoenix Strike[/skill] instead of Unsuspecting and Wild Strike. Use your free slot for a running or shadowstep skill. Personally, I like [skill]Death's Retreat[/skill].

*edit* Just tried out the build and it knocks down all 4 test dummies before they respawn very easily.

Critical Agility goes well with Flashing blades as well. Just to let you know. Since PvE sin are normally based on ether Flashing blades or Moebius strike.

The more I play the build, the more I like it. The only places it doesn't work exceptionally well in is where enchantment stripping is heavy. Since the attack combo doesn't require too many skills, there is room for a utility skill such as Expose Defenses or Mending Touch.

Actually you can use wild blow instead of Critical Strike - WB doesn't require offhand attack so you can land a critical anytime (Malicious Strike is more conditional).
And when I played my Asn with simular build - you even dont need critical strike, with Critical Eye you have 26% to make crit, so you usually land a critical with your common chain and with increased speed you will land enough of crits in 6~8 sec timeframe

Crit Strike is probably for energy management too.

As Yanman said, Crit Strike is there for energy management. Using wild blow will cost you 5 energy, give no extra energy or extra damage. If going against enemies that use blocking stances, it's not a bad idea, but Expose Defenses can do the same and prevent blocking from enchantments as well.
