I have a level 27 Rogue Mech.. I run in Shiradi mostly and will switch to FotW when I want to play with Adrenaline. I twist Sense Weakness and Energy Burst usually.

LD mostly the Master's Blitz with constant action boosts just outclasses anything else damage wise.

Shiradi is useful if you don't have paralyzing weapon or item, but you can usually twist in Stay frosty and that's about it. It's not dependable for damage. Also it's laggy. Get tunder forged with Paralyzing Fear and/or Tendon Slice Seal of House Dun'Robar instead, and if you really need it, use sleet storm scrolls, or Ice Storm wand for extra slow effect on choke points. Or you know Web traps and Tanglefoot.
Fury of the Wild and Divine Crusader are situationally useful, depending on party and quest, if you need extra healing or burst damage. Fury is also useful if you switch to bows for bursts, or go Arcane Archer on top, but it's kinda meh. You can twist in all the good stuff from them anyway.

Shadowdancer is only worth it on assassin, and IMO not even then. It garbage tier Undead form tank thing, that only adds a tiny bit of extra sneak attack, and few spells. Combine it with bugs, and damage types it gives/makes you weak against, and cool down length... No thanks.
If you want to use the play style, just play Wizard18, Rogue2, or just invest in umd. Dimension Door thing is rather nice, but there are better sources for it, like the level 12 hireling, or human dragonmark (or again wizard levels).

FOTW

Preferred twists (I don't have all of these, not enough points yet)

Pierce the Gloom (95% hit chance during Unbridled Fury)
Otto's Whistler
Pin (Yes I twist both and I use both very frequently)
Cocoon
Stay Frosty

I also use a Paralyzer TF Gxbow.

Basically I'm a one man CC Blender build.

Honestly wish I had made it a 1st Degree Burns/Paralyzing Fear xbow instead of Touch of Shadows though. But I just switch to 1st/Fort Bypass for bosses.

As with the above mentioned, I also tinkered with divine crusader which is also pretty sweet ...

Celestial champion gives +1 crit range and up to +10 double shot. Couple that with Zeal of Righteous and +10% damage from consecration, you've got some great dps. Not to mention some healing.

its a pain in the butt if you have no bard past lives, but yes... you have to switch back and forth between fatesinger and ur main for a second between quests. ran a bard PL just to keep from having to do that heh.
