Curse

Okay, well, I have a few builds, and tell me (yes, some may be gimmick) if you know any good alternatives.

Please, don't post a build that you think is better. This is honestly getting VERY old.

[shadow prison][black mantis thrust][tiger stance][jungle strike][trampling ox][falling lotus strike][blades of steel][impale]

For this one, I'm wondering if it would be better to switch [blades of steel] for [twisting fangs] since it gives bleeding and deep wound, but [impale] gives more damage, but only deep wound, which isn't THAT bad. And I don't use res in RA much (I know I will get flamed for this, but I really don't give a crap at this point) but would it be wise to switch [impale] if using [twisting fangs] in place of [blades of steel] for [expose defenses] for those pesky stance monks and rangers? Not sure about this.

[golden phoenix strike][critical strike][moebius strike][death blossom][shadow refuge][way of perfection][critical defenses][critical eye]

I know I've also posted this in RA builds, but meh. I was thinking since I could throw in an IAS like [flail] or [flurry]. Yes, they both have their downfalls. [flail] has the downfall of kiters being able to easily get out of your range and [flurry] would seriously decrease your damage, already being you have weak damage with daggers as it is. I also considered [frenzy] which worked well on the few occasions I got a prot spirit monk. But other than that, I got owned, terribly. Anyways, I was also considering replacing [shadow refuge] with [caltrops] since most people like to run since they're wimps. (Yeah, I know I'll get some gay response that says "It's kiting. If you can't hit them, then you win." or some crap like that).

Twisting Fangs > Impale. At 1 second cast time it will give plenty of time for a Monk to stick in a RoF and survive.

For Moebius Strike, I'd drop Crit Strike for Horns of the Ox. Also 2 heals is excessive, drop one of them for Flurry. Flurry doesn't seriously decrease your damage, dagger damage is pitiful anyway.

Yeah, thing is, I need the two heals in case my WoP is diverted or removed :/ And crit strike is needed for e management damnit.
